I think you need to backslash escape the backslash. Try a double backslash
"\\".

vssProject="testing tmp\\current"

Subject: What happens to my slashes


I am building a simple substring task that breaks a string into two halves.
Somehow though if a parameter
that I pass in has slashes in them they disappear.  I am sure that I am
doing something wrong.  Here is the
code:

 public void setDelimiter(String delimiter){
        System.out.println(" #####delimiter:" + delimiter );

        this.delimiter = delimiter;
    }



The delimiter is set in a properties file:

vssProject="testing tmp\current"

The call in ant is:

<substring right="path" src="${baselineDirectory}"
delimiter="${vssProject}"/>

This prints:

[substring] ######delimiter:"testing tmpcurrent"

No slashes?


Any ideas?


Dave
