It is other task. The task of checking the validity of the path. And it isn't carried out fully. If it isn't carried out, and the meaning of it dubious.

I believe that we are not well understood

;@DesktopDir & "\FileExists.au3" = "C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3"
If FileExists("C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3") Then
    MsgBox(4096, "C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3", "Exists")
Else
    MsgBox(4096, "C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3", "Does NOT exists")
EndIf

this is a valid path ehhhhhhhh , the _PathSplit() only aesthetically repair, so _PathSplit() is in line with all other AutoIt native function

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Local $sDrive = "", $sDir = "", $sFilename = "", $sExtension = ""
Local $aPathSplit, $sPath = "C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3"

 $aPathSplit = _PathSplit($sPath, $sDrive, $sDir, $sFilename, $sExtension) ; 3.3.9.16
_ArrayDisplay($aPathSplit)

ConsoleWrite('$sDrive = ' & $sDrive & @LF & _
        '$sDir = ' & $sDir & @LF & _
        '$sDir = ' & $sFilename & @LF & _
        '$sExtension = ' & $sExtension & @LF & @LF)

;~ in $aPathSplit Return
;~ [0]|C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3
;~ [1]|C:
;~ [2]|\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\
;~ [3]|FileExists
;~ [4]|.au3

;~ >Running:(3.3.9.16):C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Beta\autoit3.exe "C:\Users\DXRW4E\Desktop\New AutoIt v3 Script (Beta).au3"    
;~ --> Press Ctrl+Alt+F5 to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop
;~ $sDrive = C:
;~ $sDir = \Users\DXRW4E\Desktop\
;~ $sDir = FileExists
;~ $sExtension = .au3

but fixes this invalid Path (as mentioned is a crazy thing, will not have to ever happen), is only a precaution nothing else

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Local $sDrive = "", $sDir = "", $sFilename = "", $sExtension = ""
Local $aPathSplit, $sPath = "C: \ Users \/\ DXRW4E //\\ Desktop \\\ FileExists.au3"

 $aPathSplit = _PathSplit($sPath, $sDrive, $sDir, $sFilename, $sExtension) ; 3.3.9.16
_ArrayDisplay($aPathSplit)

ConsoleWrite('$sDrive = ' & $sDrive & @LF & _
        '$sDir = ' & $sDir & @LF & _
        '$sDir = ' & $sFilename & @LF & _
        '$sExtension = ' & $sExtension & @LF & @LF)

;~ in $aPathSplit Return
;~ [0]|C: \ Users \\ DXRW4E //\\ Desktop \\\ FileExists.au3
;~ [1]|C:
;~ [2]| \ Users \/\ DXRW4E //\\ Desktop \\\
;~ [3]|FileExists
;~ [4]|.au3

;~ >Running:(3.3.9.16):C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Beta\autoit3.exe "C:\Users\DXRW4E\Desktop\New AutoIt v3 Script (Beta).au3"
;~ --> Press Ctrl+Alt+F5 to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop
;~ $sDrive = C:
;~ $sDir = \Users\DXRW4E\Desktop\
;~ $sDir = FileExists
;~ $sExtension = .au3

Ciao.

Spaces may be near the ""

$sPath = @ScriptDir & '\ file.txt'
$hFile = FileOpen($sPath, 2)
If $hFile = -1 Then Exit MsgBox(0, 'error', 'error')
FileWrite($hFile, '')
FileClose($hFile)

If FileExists($sPath) Then MsgBox(0, 'Yes', $sPath)

Then you should check out the valid characters

$sText=StringRegExp($sText, '(?i)^[a-z]:(?:[\\/][^:*?"<>|]+)[\\/]?$')

Hi AZJIO, is a crazy thing & with it should never happen, it means that that's not a responsibility of the _PathSplit if an is Path is invalid, as said to be 100% sure (for the path that is valid or not valid) is better to use the

however is only _PathSplit() everything else about Path (how to say in an Microsoft official way) is in AutoIt help WinApiEx ShellPath Management (#include <WinAPIShPath.au3>.)

which are those that are 100% compatible with windows

Ciao.
