Problem keeping "\" chars in a path value using the Properties class

[BeyonderAtLarge]

Hi,

I have a properties file with key/value pairs:

SystemData=C:\egate\client\tmid01

The code:

String systemData = prop.getProperty("SystemData"

returns C:EGATEClient and not C:\egate\client as I would like it to.

I want to make sure the "\" characters don't go away. Is it possible to do with Properties class? do I need to use a specialized sub-class of FileInputStream?

Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Jon

change the value in the props file from:

SystemData=C:\egate\client\tmid01

to:

SystemData=C:\\egate\\client\\tmid01
