File Browse, R Tool and the Slash Direction

Hiya Team,

 

I'm trying to build an app with the R tool.  I want to use the "File Browse' tool. The problem I'm having is that the R tool using Filepaths using forward slashes (/) while the FileBrowse Tool returns backslashes (\) has anyone figured out a way around this issue?

 

thanks,

Had a colleague help me out, used an Update Value with Formula option on the Action

 and used the following formula Replace([Destination],'Text To Replace',Replace([#1],'\','/'))
