ConfigurationUtils.copy results in escaped "," characters no longer being escaped ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CONFIGURATION-272 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-272 Project: Commons Configuration Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.4 Environment: commons 1.4 Reporter: John Meagher When using ConfigurationUtils.copy to go between configuration formats any escaped out "," characters are put into the output configuration without the escape character. This results in a different value being returned from getString calls as it now things the property is a list. If 4 escape characters are used instead of the expected 1 then the copy will end up with the correct value, but then the original will end up with the escape character as part of the property value. Example: SomeLongProperty=This is a test\, it is only a test # Ends up right in the copy, but not right in the original SomeOtherProperty=This is also a test\\\\, it is also only a test After copy: # Missing "\" before "," SomeLongProperty=This is a test, it is only a test SomeOtherProperty=This is also a test\, it is also only a test -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
