B4J Question Problem reading a text file

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

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.

Thank you !
