I'm having a serious brain fart here.. I start off with a string that holds
a file path, something like aFilePath = "c:\\a\\b\\c\\d\\filename.blah.. As
I pass it around in Lua, it removes the \ and becomes C:\a\b\c..
and so on..
Now I save the filepath to a file, it gets saved as C:\a\b\c\d
etc.. without
the added \\... now when i try to load up the file, I loose all \'s,
obviously because it think's these are escape sequences now... I shouldn't
have to replace these all the time with \\ ... how can I keep the file path
intact between saves and loads etc?
You can write the string thus: aFilePath = [[c:\a\b\c\d\filename.blah]]

What are you doing that causes configuration values to be unescaped?
The only thing I can think of is making your config file a Lua script,
or injecting strings from it into loadstring()'d code. If you're not
careful, either of these can be major security issues, and if you are
doing this for a good reason, look at string.format('%q', foo).
