My > use case is that I have a template java properties file which includes > filepaths. I use this to build a java properties file specific to the > user and OS. To do the paths in the file, I use PathConvert. But if I > tell PathConvert to set the paths to Windows style, it creates paths like: > c:\product\bin\exec. When java reads these in a properies file, it > takes the backslashes to be escapes, so my path ends up as > c:productbinexec in my java program. In order for java to read it > properly from the properties file, the path needs to be written as > c:\\product\\bin\\exec. So that's why I need a multi-character path > separator. > > Alan. > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
