#15 PathPattern doesn't support UNC searches

[Anonymous]

I get the following exception when trying to search a
UNC path:

DEBUG 2004-12-30 21:20:57,266 [main] Report -

Escaping the slashes doesn't help any. Here is the code:

strPattern = "\\\\10.21.12.97\\BackupNY097\\Backup
Databases\\*";
PathPattern pp=new PathPattern(strPattern);
logger.debug("Count:\t" + pp.files().length);
