passing double backslash(\\) as a path in unix
Hi All,

I am trying to add a tag in the *.imp file.

This is a piece of code which I am giving in my template file and my script reads this template file attachment and passes to windows server(as they have provided the below file path).

@*@ATTACHMENT@*@:\\Appl051a\e\ftproot\Infoman_import\live\file.csv

in unix, When I am passing this in a template file as per the above expected code as below,

@*@ATTACHMENT@*@:"\\\\Appl051a\\e\\\\ftproot\\Infoman_import\\live\\file.csv"

here by passing extra (single \ backslash) the unix identifies a single slash,

now here is the problematic part,

Eventhough I have given,

@*@:"\\\\Appl051a extra backslashes, but it still detects as one single backslash as below in the output imp file,

@*@ATTACHMENT@*@:"\Appl051a\e\ftproot\Infoman_import\live\file.csv"

Only one single backslash is being taken.

Please can any one help me in identifying how I can resolve this by making it start with
@*@ATTACHMENT@*@:"\\Appl051a

Thanks in Advance,

mkcover

MKCOVER(8)						      System Manager's Manual							MKCOVER(8)

NAME

       mkcover - HylaFAX continuation cover page generation command

SYNOPSIS

       /var/spool/hylafax/bin/mkcover qfile template result

DESCRIPTION

       bin/mkcover  is the command invoked by the facsimile server when a continuation cover page is required for an outbound job that is about to
       be retried.  It generates a single POSTSCRIPT(R) page that is imaged according to the remote capabilities  and  transmitted  as	the  cover
       page.  The arguments are:

       qfile	 the job description file for the outbound job.

       template  the cover page template file, as used by the faxcover(1) program.

       result	 the filename where the resultant POSTSCRIPT document should be written.

       The default mkcover command is a shell script that uses awk(1) to parse the job description file and generate the cover page document.  The
       template file may be optionally compressed with compress(1), pack(1), or gzip(1); the filename suffix is used to decide whether or not  the
       template file contains compressed data.
