B4J Question Problem reading a text file

[kohle]

Hi,
I have a text file : config.txt with some parameters like

mdb=C:\TEST-aktuell\TEST-aktuell.mdb

I read with :

config = File.ReadMap(File.DirApp, "config.txt")
Mdb=config.Get("mdb")

The result is :
C:TEST-aktuellTEST-aktuell.mdb

What I do wrong ?

you either need to escape the "\" or to use "/"
mdb=C:\\TEST-aktuell\\TEST-aktuell.mdb
mdb=C:/TEST-aktuell/TEST-aktuell.mdb

you either need to escape the "\" or to use "/"

Or write your own read-config-into-Map function that just treats the text as it is and as you expect, without interpreting "\" as an escape code.

not really necessary to make up his own rules; all he had to do was follow the spec. assuming all the lines of his config file were like the ones show, it is a map in the eyes of java. whether he knew it or not. the file could be read either way, but as a map, the spec requires escaping. i've made a notation in my moleskine notebook of tricks.
