[LE] variables and string concatenation

[irswat]

I want to write papyrus trace logs to a log folder specific to my mod for alpha testing purposes.

function DumpLog()

	float time
	string log
	string timeLogFileName
	string filePath
	time=Utility.GetCurrentRealTime()
	timeLogFileName=(time as string)
	string sDatafileName
		
	;gets My documents location
	Console("Bat GetPath.bat")	
	sDatafileName = "SVCE/filePath.txt"
	if MiscUtil.FileExists(sDatafileName)
		debug.trace("File found: reading file.")
		filePath = MiscUtil.ReadFromFile(sDatafileName)
	endif
	
	;sets path to papyrus trace log
	filePath = filePath + "\My Games\Skyrim\Logs\Script\Papyrus.0.log"
	sDatafileName = filePath
	
	;dumps contents of tracelog to a string
	if MiscUtil.FileExists(sDatafileName)
		debug.trace("File found: reading file.")
		log = MiscUtil.ReadFromFile(sDatafileName)
	endif
	
	;sets write file path to current time stamp
	debug.trace("dumping from " + sDatafileName + "/logs/ to " + time)
	sDatafileName = "SVCE/logs/" + timeLogFileName + ".txt"
	
	;writes log to timstamped file in SVCE folder
	WriteToFile(sDatafileName, log, false, false)
endFunction

this line is throwing a bunch of errors:

filePath = filePath + "\My Games\Skyrim\Logs\Script\Papyrus.0.log"

Am I allowed to concatenate strings like this?

SOLVED: the function requires back slashes not forward slashes

In case you were not aware, papyrus has a way of creating mod specific logs.

See TraceUser for more details.

that is very good to know!
