Adobe Javascript: escaping backslashes and quotation marks

Question

I'm trying to populate a field with a simple script:

var a =""
if (this.getField("Check Box7").value == "Yes")
{
a='""\\\\server\\\share\\\""'
}

which yields this result: "\\\\server\\share\\" I need this result: \\\\server\\share (so no quotation marks)

How can I obtain this result?

Answer 1

This input will give the required output, as specified in the initial question:

var a =""
if (this.getField("Check Box7").value == "Yes")
{
a="\\\\server\\\share\\";
}
