Regex on windows

[arminh]

I also don't know why strings in my path array in ScripWatchTable looks like this

"C:\\Users\\armin\\AppData\\Roaming\\My Company\\Demo Plugin\\AudioFiles\\factory_1.wav",

and when i Console.print it it looks normal (single slash)

Windows uses \ as a directory separator. Sensible operating systems use /. \ is also an escape character, so when you try to write a directory name on Windows you have to use \\ one is the directory separator, the other is the escape character to tell Windows that the other one is the directory separator and not an escape character :p

Another solution (in the command line at least) is to place the path in quotes "" and just use one \

I'm not good with regex which is why I avoided answering the question :p

If you need to distinguish the regexes based on the OS, use Engine.getOS()...
