Hello everybody,

my current problem is:
I'm working on a java application which needs an ini-file (given its path as parameter) to run the application. In that ini-file, there is another path, which is very important for this application. How can I use this file without multiple slashes?

I'm glad about any answers.

Does ./filename not work?

can't work, a backslash starts the escape-sequence.

OK then a forward slash, it's always worth a try.

Np, that doesn't work :(

What does not work? Why not show exactly what you have tried and explain clearly what you are trying to achieve and why it does not work.

I try it without double slashes -> p.e. C:\Folder\Folder\file.ini and that doesn't work.. it only works like this -> C:\\Folder\\Folder\\file.ini

this file, which I need to give as parameter to run my application, is not on the same folder als the other files in the project.

I thought, someone could show me another possible way to use paths without double slashes..

As Torsten already suggested, use forward slashes thus:
C:/Folder/Folder/file.ini.

Okay, I'll try it,

If you're working with that String value you should

- make it a setting not editable for customers
- take care of the slashes. Backslashes do not work - using slahes ("/") is sometimes a better option. Otherwise double the backslashes (String.replaceAll())

I tried it without double slashes but that doesn't work at all.. It must be an absolute path with double slashes, but that's not what I wanted.

Are there any settings in Eclipse? Otherwise I try it with programming it by my self...
