There's really nothing to fix, it's a Java limitation. 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</fileNamePattern>** **
…****
</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}}****
