Hi Chris, May be I am asking stupid question. Why can't we read property value from xml and replace '\' with '/'. Except stupid windows everyone else use same standards, so there won't be any problem I guess. If we add escape attribute to property tag then our life will be very easy. Something like this <property name="log.dir" value="d:\seeta\log" escape="false"/> Regards, Seeta -----Original Message----- From: logback-user-bounces@qos.ch [mailto:logback-user-bounces@qos.ch] On Behalf Of logback-user-request@qos.ch Sent: 11 September 2012 12:00 To: logback-user@qos.ch Subject: Logback-user Digest, Vol 12, Issue 11 Send Logback-user mailing list submissions to logback-user@qos.ch To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.qos.ch/mailman/listinfo/logback-user or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to logback-user-request@qos.ch You can reach the person managing the list at logback-user-owner@qos.ch When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Logback-user digest..."

The \ has special meaning, and to escape it you MUST use \\. (*Chris*) On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 3:44 AM, Seeta Vadali <svadali@sdl.com> wrote:
Dear Logback team,****
** **
First of all I am not very sure is it correct way to ask questions regarding logback. I couldn?t find any forum. I thought of creating bug in JIRA (http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK) but I don?t have rights ?. So I am dropping mail to given mail id? ****
** **
Coming to bug : ****
------------------ ****
I am trying to optimize logback.xml file in our environment. Logging directory location we are specifying in more than one location so I am trying to create a variable ( property ) to hold log directory and reuse. Now problem is if path is ?D:\seeta\log? then logback is stripping out all back ward slashes and giving it as ?D:seetalog?. I know if I use forward slash or double slash it works fine but I cannot control the user who use my tool. Can you please help us in fixing it? ****
** **
Working scenario ****
=============****
<configuration>****
?****
<fileNamePattern> d:\seeta\log\cd_core.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePattern>****
?****
</configuration>****
****
NON-Working Scenario****
==============****
<configuration>****
?****
<property name="log.dir" value="d:\seeta\log"/>****
?****
<fileNamePattern>${log.dir}\cd_core.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePatter n>** **
?****
</configuration>****
** **
** **
** **
** **
NOTE : I have attached logback.jar and configuration files. Here {{logback_working.xml}} is existing configuration and trying to modify to {{ logback_NOT_working.xml}}****
