> Tail File processor requires windows path to be escaped
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-3219
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3219
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Arpit Gupta
> Priority: Minor
>
> When using the Tail File processor on windows and setting the file to tail to
> {code}
> C:\nifi\some-file.log
> {code}
> Processor complained that the path that was set is not a valid regex even
> though mode was set to Single file.
> When i escaped the path to set a value like
> {code}
> C:\\nifi\\some-file.log
> {code}
> It worked.
> My flow was tail file -> put file. Put File processor was able to
> successfully write the content to the directory passed even though the path
> was not escaped. So i think we can improve Tail File processor to not require
> path's to be escaped or update the documentation on how should one use this
> processor on windows.
