Override Operators?

So I'm trying to do an automated save as pdf in my database. What I want to do is make it possible for someone to save a file by just pasting their path from a Windows Explorer address bar into a custom dialog box in FileMaker.

The only problem I am running into is converting the "" over to a "/".

For instance if I want to save the pdf in the path C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktop then I need to tell filemaker to find and replace all the 's with a /.

And my final save path will look like this filewin:/C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/.

The problem I am facing in doing this is that Filemaker recognizes as an operator for division and will not let me put it into a Calculation for a text.

ex: Substitute ( $path; ""; "/")

Gives me the error "This text constant does not end with a quotation mark."

Any ideas???

It has nothing to do with dividing. is the character for escaping special characters.

So in your case you would need something like:

Substitute ( YourPathField; ""; "/" )
