Propblem with Properties class and .ini file !

Question

Hello I have to read and write in a .ini file. I've got no problem, using a bit of code like this
Properties iniFile = new Properties();
String result="exception";
try{     
iniFile.load(new FileInputStream(path));
result = iniFile.getProperty("SrcPath","not found");     
catch(IOException e){}
finally{return result;}
it works correctly, but my problem is that my .ini file contain path like "SrcPath = e:\directory1\directory2"
And then in my result variable I get : "e:directory1directory2" all the slash are cutted by iniFile.load !!
And the problem is that I can not put "\\" in my ini file because it is used by other programs that need just one slash !!!!
Is anybody got an idea to get the right path "e:\directory1\directory2"
Thanks by advance Eric

1st question.
Properties props = new Properties();
     try{
          String uploadprop = "c:/yourinifile.ini";
          File file = new File(uploadprop);
     FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
          ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
          int character;
          while((character=fis.read()) != -1){
          baos.write(character);
          if((char)character == '\\')
               //write one more '\'
               baos.write(character);
          ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(baos.toByteArray());
          baos.close();
          //load bais
          props.load(bais);
          bais.close();
          fis.close();
          System.out.println(props.getProperty("dirname"));
     }catch(Exception e){
hope this helps
