[jira] Commented: (CONFIGURATION-418) incorrect backslash parsing

["Oliver Heger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-418?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12874155#action_12874155 ] 

Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-418:
--------------------------------------------

It may be that the current version in subversion contains some changes related to the handling of backslahses and escaping, but I am not sure. So would it be possible for you to checkout the most recent version and test with it? Otherwise I will have a look in some days. Thanks.

>             Project: Commons Configuration
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.6
>         Environment: Commons Configuration 1.6
>            Reporter: Ricky Martin
>            Priority: Minor

> I am using Commons Configuration (PropertiesConfiguration) and some of my data are windows shares: \\share1 or \\share2. The problem is the parsing return different things depending how the keys are defined. For example, these keys
> share=\\\\share1
> share=\\\\share2
> are different than:
> share=\\\\share1, \\\\share2
> The first one returns two backslashes ("\\share1" and "\\share2") and the second returns just one ("\share1" and "\share2"). I think the problem is in PropertyConverter line 525, cos the backslash is hidden twice when multivalue parsing is done:
> if (c != delimiter && c != LIST_ESC_CHAR) 
>                 {
>                     // no, also add escape character
>                     token.append(LIST_ESC_CHAR);
>                 }
> In my understanding the second condition produces this strange issue and it should be like this:
> if (c != delimiter) 
>                 {
>                     // no, also add escape character
>                     token.append(LIST_ESC_CHAR);
>                 }
> Check that cos I can be missing something...
> TIA
