When specifying values for file properties, Nucleus translates the forward slash (/) to the file separator for your platform (for example, Windows uses a backslash (\) as a file separator).

The backslash (\) is the escape character for properties files, so if you edit a properties file by hand, you must use two consecutive backslashes (\\) to specify a value that contains a backslash. For example:

documentRoot=\\WebServer6.1\\docs

The ACC Component Editor handles the escape character automatically; if you change properties using the ACC, use single backslashes.
