ExecuteJavaScript backslash?

[js532]

Using a backslash in the string for the script won't work as expected.
Example: file path - Won't display any slashes.

If I use new line (\n) it won't even execute the script.
Did I miss something? I have the next to the last cef version and I call executejavascript always from the mainframe in the right thread.

Example?

[js532]

std::string test = "C:\\test";

frame = GetBrowser()->GetMainFrame();
frame->ExecuteJavaScript("alert('" + test + "');", frame->GetURL(), 0);

> displays: C: est

or

std::string test = "test\n";

frame = GetBrowser()->GetMainFrame();
frame->ExecuteJavaScript("alert('" + test + "');", frame->GetURL(), 0);

> no execution at all.

Open DevTools > console in Chrome and execute your code:

Code: Select all

alert("C:\test")


Code: Select all

alert("test
")


[js532]

For path disclosures I need to double the backshlashes and transform the string before I call execute java script..
C:\\\\test as example gives the result I want: C:\\test (Chrome Console)
Using CEF JavaExecuteScript I need to quadruple the shlashes.

New line (\n) only works in chrome console.
