[SOLVED] Macro + Path = Problem
Hi there,
I've got a problem modifying a path using "Generate Macro".
In the "File Loop" operator you get one (actually two) macro pointing the a folder (file_path and parent_path). If you want to modify this macro using "Generate Macro" you get a syntax error.
Example: suffix("%{parent_path}",10)
The problem is the backslash (\) in the path which will be interpreted wrong, but you can't escape it.. or can you?
Background:
I want to use the "File Loop" operator to read in a number of csv files in different subdirectories and store them in their respective folder.
Example:
"...\2012-05-02\file1.csv" ---> "...\myRepository\2012-05-02\file1.ioo"
"...\2009-10-31\file2.csv" ---> "...\myRepository\2009-10-31\file2.ioo"
Therefore I need the current directory (relative path), which I unfortunately isn't provided in "File Loop". Hence I tried to modify the macro "parent_path" (absolute path), which will lead to the error described above.
