title: Java Properties backslash
body: <p>I am using Java Properties to read a properties file. Everything is working fine, but Properties silently drops the backslashes.</p>
  
  <p>(i.e.)</p>
  
  <pre><code>original: c:\sdjf\slkdfj.jpg
  
  after: c:sdjfslkdfj.jpg
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I make Properties not do this?</p>
  
  <p>I am using the code <code>prop.getProperty(key)</code></p>
  
  <p>I am getting the properties from a file, and I want to avoid adding double backslashes</p>
