Specify Paths in Literal Strings

When you use Microsoft Windows file nomenclature in a literal string to specify a path in an expression, backslashes must be escaped, as follows:

"C:\\IT PAM\\import\\script_ora1.bat"

In most cases, use normalized file names, with slash marks (/), even when specifying a path on a Microsoft Windows computer. For example:

"C:/IT PAM/import/script_ora1.bat"

When you specify a path to a folder or object in a library, the root folder is represented by an initial slash mark, followed by the slash delimited folder hierarchy. For example:

"/Production/Processes/failover_process"
