Peter Schaefer commented on JENKINS-13542:
------------------------------------------
Great. Escaping issues even here in the Wiki-text! It was meant to be
{noformat}
String baz = "$WORKSPACE\\sandbox";
{noformat}
and
{noformat}
String baz = "C:\Jenkins\foo\bar\\sandbox";
^ illegal escape sequence
{noformat}
respectively.

> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: scripttrigger
> Affects Versions: current
> Environment: Windows
> Reporter: Peter Schaefer
> Assignee: gbois
> Priority: Minor
>
> Under windows, the variable "WORKSPACE" usually contains backward-shlashes
> (i.e. "C:\Jenkins\foo\bar"). Trying to assign a string variable like
> String baz = "$WORKSPACE\\sandbox";
> is not possible. After the variables are substitued Groovy complains about
> illegal character, since the statement looks like this:
> String baz = "C:\Jenkins\foo\bar\\sandbox";
> ^ illegal escape sequence
