You need to double the backslashes.

StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(filename,"\",false);
String v="";
while(st.hasMoreTokens())
{
v=st.nextToken();
}
out.print(" filename is "+v+" this");

This piece of code is throwing following exception-
An error occurred at line: 3 in the jsp file: /Save.jsp
Generated servlet error:
String literal is not properly closed by a double-quote

But if i replace "\" with ".", then it is working fine,
What is the problem with "\"?
Plz [sic] Help!

The problem was programmer error.

<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/lexical.html#3.10.6>
It is a compile-time error if the character following a backslash in an escape is not an ASCII b, t, n, f, r, ", ', \, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.
