If you want the fullpath relative to the current working folder you can use the _fullpath function as mentioned by W. Kleinschmit. If you want to search for the file and then get the full path of that file you can use PathFindOnPathAPI. «_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.

the good question is "why do you need to do this ?"... I suspect a dark reason which is in fact because you're trying to hack something because you don't actually understand that string escaping is useful only in your source code... if you're getting the string from an external source (input, textbox, open file dialog), the string you get is already good. you need to escape \ into \\ only in your source code, because if you don't, the \ character will try to escape the character next to it, and that's not what you want. you want a single \ in the string, because it is the folder separator character, which must be typed '\\'...

What? Can you explain the problem a little better? But fortunately we have the nanny-state politicians who can step in to protect us poor stupid consumers, most of whom would not know a JVM from a frozen chicken.

If you have a character that was encoded into a single byte using UTF8, then it was an ASCII character. Instead of allocating lots of small byte arrays, you can just do this: char DecodeASCII(byte b) { if (b >= 128) throw new ArgumentException("This is not a single-byte character"); else return (char)b; }

I think you mistake and omit line dt = data.Clone() before foreach(DataRow dr in data.Rows)
