Preventing the backslash from creating subcategorization in view

Anyone know of a way to prevent the backslash from automatically creating a subcategory in my categorized column of my view? I realize it’s a wonderfully tricky feature but sometimes I just want my categorized column to display the value with the backslash that’s part of the text value I’m displaying (like, say a filepath). I don’t want multiple messy subcats all over the place. And I don’t want to do a substring replace because a filepath is a filepath and replacing the backslash with another character is strange looking and inaccurate for the data I’m representing.

Any ideas / experience out there?

Thanks,

Marie

If you don’t need the backslash to appear in the column, you can use @ReplaceSubstring to replace the backslash with something else, like a dash.Eg:

@ReplaceSubstring (FieldName;“\”;“-”)

Hi,

sorry to say that but this is a feature that really cant be turned off. :frowning:

There is really no other way then not to use a category or to replace it with an other char.

(For filesystems use “/” insted of "" and say that you use unix formats :-)))
