Facing issue in printing user like "ab\\cd"

[psmhelp]

Hello Friends,

I have a application in C which adds the user "ab\\cd" and can read through client written in C. However while reading the user through java it gives me ab\\\cd.( Note the three \\\ instead two.) because of which my application is throwing error. How these escape sequence is handled to print/ read the value "ab\\cd".

Thanks in advance.

to println "ab\\cd", your String should be ab\\\\cd

You may use the way said by mtyoung.
To use system.out.format(),first learn about this function.
Then start to write code.
