Description

Using <escapeString>\</escapeString> does not correctly when dealing with case where previous text is also a \.
attached pom,test and assembly.xml show what happens. The follwoing scenario is currently fail: (varible=Hello)

C:\path\\${variable}

converted to

C:\path\\Hello

I would of expected:

C:\path\${variable}

The following does work but is not exactly as required as it means you get get two \'s

C:\path\\\${variable}

converted to

C:\path\\${variable}
