Description

Resolution:
BE string type behaves similarly like Java string type. '\' is the escape character.

"c:\Testfile.txt" is not a valid value for Java string type. BE removes this invalid character automatically.

If you want to present a file path, we recommend you use "c:\\Testfile.txt" or "c:/Testfile.txt"
