myproperty.properties file

directory = c:\ddd\
subdirectories = df,d,g

Properties property = new Properties();
FileInputStream inputFile = null;
try{
inputFile = new FileInputStream("directoryProperties.properties");
property.load(inputFile);
}catch (IOException e){}

String s = property.getProperty("directory"); - this returns directory=c dd

You may have to change:

directory = c:\ddd\

to:

directory = c:\\ddd\\

It is proobably interpreting \d as some escape sequence/char.
