unicode character problem

> string str=  "\\u0020"

think that should be:

String str=  "\u0020"

but the problem is that string is coming in a format "\\u0624c" I have to convert it \u0624c and then store it in a file

i m using the following method to convert it:
but this method returns an extra "\" (backslash)
for example it should return \u0646 but it returns \\u0646

    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    public  String native2ascii(String s) {
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(s.length() + 80);
        for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
            char c = s.charAt(i);
            //if (c <= 0xff) {
            if (c ==' ') {
                //  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,String.valueOf(c),"if",1);
                sb.append("\\u0020" );
                //sb.append(c);
            } else {
                sb.append("\\u0" + Integer.toHexString((int) c).toUpperCase() );
                // JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,String.valueOf(c),"else",1);
            }
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }

Furthermore the following setProperty method is not workin correctly:

propertiesFile.setProperty("key","\\abc");

so it shuld set the value in property file as

key=\url

but it sets it as

key=\\url

WHY?

code looks fine, problem may be elsewhere
where exactly are you seeing the double slashes.

> key=\\url

again, where are you see this.
If its in the Properties file then it is correct, as the back slash must be escaped.

yes in properties file.

but then how can i write somthing like "\abc" in property file through setProperty method?

example of a property file:

text=\abc

\abc is not a valid string as \a is not a defined escape sequence

example of a property file:

text=\u0646

how can write this using setProperty method????

as i first posted :)
