Loading the properties has no effect (btw, loading properties is

Also, setDelimiterParsingDisabled(true) causes
PropertiesConfiguration.save(Writer)
to escape every delimiter in the file. Yet, when I read the properties back,
the delimiters are not escaped (they are parsed).
I am stuck either way - it won't parse delimiters properly (ignores escapes)
when
delimiter parsing is enabled and it won't let me handle delimiters myself
by disabling delimiter parsing.
I am at my wit's end and would appreciate any advice from anyone who has
gotten this working.

Without having concrete code samples it is hard to guess what is going
wrong. It is correct that setDelimiterParsingDisabled() has to be called
before the configuration is loaded.
With the escaping of the delimiter character there was a bug in
Configuration 1.4, which has been fixed recently [1]. Maybe this fix
solves your problem?

Make sure that that you first disable the Delim parsing on the Configuration
object and then load the property file.

Subject: Re: [Configuration]: Escaping list delimiter
Thanks a lot. Also, AbstractConfiguration.setDelimiterParsingDisabled(true)
does not seem to take effect. It continues to split the property values
as fields based on the default delimiter.
I am using 1.4. Is this a known issue?
Thanks,

How can I escape list delimiter characters in property configuration?
my.strings=silk,cotton # List of two strings
my.strings=silk,cott\,on # List of two strings again
my.strings=silk,cott,on # List of three strings
However, escaping the list delimiter as above does not seem to work.
How can I accomplish what I am trying to do?
Thanks,

The backslash is the correct escaping character. But AFAIK it is
specially treated in Java properties files [1], so it has to be escaped
itself by using a duplicate backslash:
my.strings = silk,cott\\,on
