Hi Paden, I believe you could use a PatternReplaceFilterFactory ( http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0/analyzers-common/org/apache/lucene/analysis/pattern/PatternReplaceFilterFactory.html ) configured in your fieldtype that could replace '\\\\' with '\\' at index time.
Thanks.

I'm using the DataImportHandler to pull a filepath from a database. The problems is that Windows filepaths have the backslash character inside their paths. \\some\filepath So when insert this data into MySQL I have to use a "\\" in order to get it to look like it should \\\\some\\filepath And everything looks good when I put it into MySQL it looks like \\some\filepath But when I index into Solr it looks like this \\\\some\\filepath Now I was thinking that I should just go back and put in single backslashes again since it's printing the exact input that I used to put the string in the table in MySQL but then it does this wonderful trick \\somefilepath It will recognize the front two but not that middle backslashes. I know this may seem like more of a MySQL kind of issue but is there any way that I can get solr to recognize this escape character so it would print the desired output? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Using-the-DataImportHandler-to-get-filepath-from-MySQL-DataBase-BackSlash-Character-Problem-tp4215034.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
