> Karaf shell command arguments will escape backslashes even when the argument is entered in the console surrounded by quotes. As an example, this creates issues with attempting to enter Windows file paths as they appear on the file system.
> {{myCommand "C:\Users\MyUser\Documents\example.txt"}} or {{myCommand C:\Users\MyUser\Documents\example.txt}} 
> will have the argument passed in as
> {{C:UsersMyUserDocumentsexample.txt}}.
> It seems like the argument goes through a double interpretation of the escape chars, since the path can come through correctly as {{myCommand "C:\\\\Users\\\\MyUser\\\\Documents\\\\example.txt"}}, so a workaround exists, but there is a lack of parity between commands involving file paths on *nix and Windows systems as drag-and-drop or copy-paste of paths will not work on Windows as is.
