Is there a way to use something similar to c# 's at quoting (@" ") in java [duplicate]

Question

In C#, if you want to read a string without having to escape the characters, you can use an at-quote

String file = @"C:\filename.txt"

which is equivalent to

String file = "C:\\filename.txt"

Is there a simple way to escape an entire string in Java?

Answer 1

No, unfortunately not.

As a side note: If you don't want to support Windows 9x and ME anymore, you can use "/" as folder separator. It works on all operating systems, including Microsoft Windows since 2000.
