Match Pattern Does Not detect "\" (backslash when back slash is given inside square brackets)

[Vinay_Kumar_M_S]

Match pattern VI does not detect "\"(back slash) when I give Back slash inside the square brackets, I'm attaching the sample code which I made, In this VI all the symbols in the square bracket except back slash are detected. Does anyone know what is wrong with the program.???

Hi,

Use a double slash [<,\\,>] inside the square bracket. It will be detected.

But why do we need 2 back slash to detect one????

I think it's because the backslash is used in formats etc. For example \s for string.

Hi,

Even Deejay is right. That's the reason why ' \ ' can't be used alone in such functions.
