Handle back-slash “\” in Razor View and JavaScript

Written by

We are passing following view bag value;

ViewBag.Alphabets = "a\\b\\c";

We are retrieving this value in JavaScript in Razor view;

console.log('@ViewBag.Alphabets');

JS Output
console.log('a\b\c');

Console Output
a_c

Where did the “\” goes? Since this is a part of escape characters so JS automatically removes “\\” and replaced it with “_”. “\b” is a metacharacter so it’s gone as well.

We can fix it by using Replace command on ViewBag.

console.log('@ViewBag.Alphabets.Replace("\\", "\\\\")');

JS Output
console.log('a\\b\\c;');

Console Output
a\b\c
