I'm trying to write a lisp that sets the dwgprefix to just the first two folders and I can't figure out how to compare the backslash in the dwgprefix string and a backslash. "\" gives me malfomed string and "\\" gives me a syntax error any help would be much appreciated.

Use double backslash when you need a single, AutoCad do not treat a backslash as your eyes.
(ascii "\\" )
(chr 92 )
