I have a requirement to put an absolute path into a configuration file
prior to running a java app thru Ant. The only way I can see to get an
absolute path (thru basedir or using a location property) supplies the path
with the separators set to the current platform convention. Of course, I am
running this on Windows and if I write the path to the config file then the
single backslashes in the path are treated as escape characters by the app
reading the file. What I need is the absolute path using forward slashes
(or with double blackslashes) - is this possible ?
TIA
Robert
