Contact Form 7 – Submiting backslashes

Little more info –

You can enter double backslashes to escape the second slash in the fields itself.

So using the same example to get G:\Folder\Another Folder\File.xls to display in the email, you would write in the field G:\\Folder\\Another Folder\\File.xls

Any ideas on how I can escape this so I don’t need users to enter \\ or get emails which read along the lines of G:FolderAnother FolderFile.xls ? Perhaps by escaping the whole field? Or by reading the field as raw text? I’m not sure how the form does this, and not really sure where to start looking.

Thanks,
Rab

Little bump, anyone got any ideas? ??

Cheers!

Still looking to get this resolved, anyone? ??

I’ve managed to fix it.

For any searchers out there, I edited /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/classes.php

Around line 314 there is this code:

if ( WPCF7_USE_PIPE && is_a( $pipes, 'WPCF7_Pipes' ) && ! $pipes->zero() ) {
				if ( is_array( $value) ) {
					$new_value = array();
					foreach ( $value as $v ) {
						$new_value[] = $pipes->do_pipe( stripslashes( $v ) );
					}
					$value = $new_value;
				} else {
					$value = $pipes->do_pipe( stripslashes( $value ) );
				}

I removed the stripslashes function so the new code looked like this:

if ( WPCF7_USE_PIPE && is_a( $pipes, 'WPCF7_Pipes' ) && ! $pipes->zero() ) {
				if ( is_array( $value) ) {
					$new_value = array();
					foreach ( $value as $v ) {
						$new_value[] = $pipes->do_pipe(  $v  );
					}
					$value = $new_value;
				} else {
					$value = $pipes->do_pipe(  $value  );
				}
