Problems with File.exists and \\'s

Hi
 
File.directory seems to return path with 1 slash \
 
When checking is a file exists using the above,
 
File.exists() seems to require that the path contain (2) forward slashes  \\ ie
 
C:\\imageJ\\directory\\some_file.txt  
 
Without such it retuns false when it should return true.
 
replace(file_check, '\','\\'); is problematic b/c it seems to be an escape character.
 
Is there a simple solution here ?
 
Thanks
