hi kamesh!

Dont worry about that!

In a property-file, there are some characters with a special meaning e.g. = : ! #.

The store-method will escape these characters with a \ eg \: So the load method can interpret the property file correctly.

after re-loading the property file, the content will be right.

Stefan.
