Has the string handling in csoundInputMessage changed the last year or so? After a recent update of the Hadron VST source code it seems to behave differently.

The VST interface sends a file path to csound with the message "i 1 0 1 \"C:\\Program Files\\Hadron/\"". Previously the string argument was interpreted by the csound engine as "C:\Program Files\Hadron/". Now the result is " C:Program FilesHadron/". The double backslashes are simply removed. Is this intended? Should the string message be formatted differently now?

yes, that has changed. There was some problem with escaping, which we tried to fix,
but maybe it has caused other problems?

If there are problems, let us know.

Unless there is another way I should format the message "i 1 0 1 \"C:\\Program Files\\Hadron/\"", there definitely is a problem. I can submit an issue instead. I suspect the problem could be an attempt to allow multiline strings (line 340 in linevent.c).

Did you try  {{ i 1 0 1 "C:\Program Files\Hadron” }}

Thanks for the fix, Victor. It works now!

I did not try your suggestion below since the double backslashes are passed on from file handling methods of the framework I use. And I still need to encapsulate the entire string in string quotes.

After a recent update of the Hadron VST source code it seems to

behave differently.

The VST interface sends a file path to csound with the message "i 1

0 1

\"C:\\Program Files\\Hadron/\"". Previously the string argument was

interpreted by the csound engine as "C:\Program Files\Hadron/". Now

the result is " C:Program FilesHadron/". The double backslashes are
