Escape characters and backslashes

CloverDX Platform
1

Hello,
I’ve got some problems when using backslashes in recent versions of Clover ETL, i.e. in releases 2-3-2 and 2-3-3.

the following java code:
arr = str.split(“\\|”);
in an embedded java reformat class is not compilable.
it seems the new release doesn’t handle backslashes as before.

in TL language it is not possible to refer to a property containing windows file paths. example: mystring = “${path}”, where path could be “C:\somepath\somefile.txt”

release 2-1-3 worked properly in both cases.

thank you for any suggestion.

Hello, I try to be more precise on my problem…

this is a sample graph:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> //#TL

function transform(){
$0.field1 := “${path}”;
$0.field2 := $0.field2;
}

when in properties file there is:
path=C:\onefile.txt
I got “C:onefile.txt”, exactly what I expect, but if in properties file there is:
path=C:\\onefile.txt
I got the following error →

DEBUG [WatchDog] - Opening input file ./inputfile.txt
