Sorry, "=" is not an escape sequence. The issue is only with the backward slash.

Say there is a property in property file TestProperty=this has an escaped characters in it \\ and \=. This property is read correctly but when the file is saved using the store() method the property is saved as TestProperty=this has an escaped characters in it \ and =. So when it is read the next time the backward slash and "=" are lost. If we save the same file with Properties object, it is saved correctly as TestProperty=this has an escaped characters in it \\ and \=. The test was done with the latest nightly build on March 10, 2010. Regards, Najam
