---------
i have a script that loads a texture into a material channel.
i can get texture to load if the texture is in the same folder as project with filename as eg.. "texture.jpg".
but if i try to load it from a different folder eg... "c:\Folder\subfolder exture.jpg"
it loads the path as "c:Foldersubfoldertexture.jpg"

does anyone know how to get the brackets to stay in the path?

its meant to be "back slash" \ (not bracket)

It is generally better to use AddLast(folder or file name) to construct the path instead of writing it directly. This also makes sure it is plattform independently generated I´d say.

that wont work?
because im using it to load a texture to a material (same material all the time)then apply it to an object.

wouldnt "AddLast(folder or file name)" just use the last path a browsed to.
which i dont wont because i could change the path, which would make the code not work anymore

What I mean is something like this:

Filename fn = "C:";
fn->AddLast("folder");
fn->AddLast("image.jpg");

You shouldn´t explicitly define the path as you did. It doesn´t matter how you use it, I am talking about the compatibility of the path construction if you know what I mean.
