I have some text, which I want to display using java (on jsp page) and using javacript. but when I use \ then text in javascript is shown correctly but java shows it with one more back slash. the text is the same, is there some way how I can have them displayed the same way?

4Could you show us an example, maybe a printscreen and a snippet of your javascript and java code? – Max Feb 04 '14 at 08:17

This is what is called an "escape sequence" for a variety of security reasons many characters do not print when written directly in a string literal.
Common c style escape sequences are prefixed with '\' (backslash character) followed by the character to escape
'\\' is the character sequence you're looking for to print a single '\' character.
see older stackoverflow comment.
- \t Insert a tab in the text at this point.
- \b Insert a backspace in the text at this point.
- \n Insert a newline in the text at this point.
- \r Insert a carriage return in the text at this point.
- \f Insert a formfeed in the text at this point.
- \' Insert a single quote character in the text at this point.
- \" Insert a double quote character in the text at this point.
- \\ Insert a backslash character in the text at this point.
