path separators and properties

[Jonathan Carlson <jc...@is.com>]

I'm kind of stuck with an issue of path separators (I love to hate microsoft
;-).  I understandably have to use forward slashes when I put an absolute
file or directory into a properties file.  But if I then use that same
property file in a filtersfile argument to create a DOS batch file, the
slash comes out with a forward slash, which DOS complains about big time.
 
Does anyone know how I can have this both ways?
 
Thanks!

Who said so? You'll probably need to escape the backslash though
(i.e. use \\ instead of \ ).
