Bug #19173

This issue won't be fixed in Rudder 6.x, as it would *break* existing installation of Rudder However, it is fixed in Rudder 7.0, meaning that upgrades from 6.X to 7.0 may break values by escaping string escaped by hand Brace yourself for this bug description. Using multiple "\" in a class parameter leads to inconsistent behaviour h2. Technique editor |_.Number of \|_.Value|_.File edited|_.State of edition|_.Report|_.State of report| | 1 | /tmp/escapedfilebyfileonlyone\s | /tmp/escapedfilebyfileonlyone\s | OK | /tmp/escapedfilebyfileonlyone\s | OK | | 2 | /tmp/escapedfilebyfiletwice\\s | /tmp/escapedfilebyfiletwice\s | NOK | /tmp/escapedfilebyfiletwice\s | NOK | | 3 | /tmp/escapedfilebyfile\\\s | /tmp/escapedfilebyfile\\s | NOK | /tmp/escapedfilebyfile\\s | NOK | and you get the idea for the rest There is no escaping here, causing the \\ to be replaced by \ Content in file, or commands is also unescaped, so \\ are replaced by \ h2.
