passing a path in the url as argument

[eluser]newtonianb[/eluser]
How can I pass a path to a file using the URI assoc

$data = $CI->uri->uri_to_assoc(3, null);

http://localhost/index.php/home/index/fi...y\file.xml

that does not workout all the backslash get converted to forward slash to then it only captures the first portion "shared" gets saved in my variable.

I checked my config.php file and backlash seems to be allowed ...

You could encode the path to base64, which will pass nicely into the URI, then in your filearguement method decode it back to the path.
