I am also facing the problem that JMeter is not recognizing the special character.
In my case, I have to pass the file pathname as the attribute value in add test (path is something like "c:\gd.txt"). I think, JMeter does not recognize '\' and hangs ..... I need to stop it and susend all the threads of JMeter. After this JMeter becomes too slow, then I need to exit from JMeter application and restart it. Can some one help, how can I pass the pathname with '\' special character. I even tried '\\', taking it as escape character.
