How to escape “\” characters in Java

Question

As we all know,we can use

string aa=@\"E:\\dev_workspace1\\AccessCore\\WebRoot\\DataFile\" 

in c# in order not to double the \'\\\'.

Answer 1

There is no whole string escape operator but, if it's for file access, you can use a forward slash:

String aa="E:/dev_workspace1/AccessCore/WebRoot/DataFile";

Windows allows both forward and backward slashes as a path separator. It won't work if you pass the path to an external program that mangles with it and fails, but that's pretty rare.
