What does path show?
So in debug what is the actual value op path and what gets passed into the query then to what does it change to?

this is how the path shows:
\\cci-netapp\Recordings02\archive\EuroChance\201204\20120417\20120417_184458_004511_123456789.wav

but in my function playrec the val is:
\cci-netappRecordings02ArchiveEuroChance3113110431104_145406_004534_123456789.wav

you can fix the path of a file by using static string.
and keep the file name dynamic only.
Take file name form the user if possible.
or specify how you want to call it???

Try using a regex to keep escape characters

C#

var val = $(this).attr('val').replace(/[!"#$%&'()*+,.\/:;<=>?@[\\\]^`{|}~]/g, "\\\\$&")

Although in your case you can also try and use the filter[§] settings
with all elements selection

C#

var value = this.value;
$select.find('option').filter(function() {
  return this.value == value;
}).show();

Solution 2

this fixed the issue:

path = path.replace(/[\\]/g, "\\\\");
