[~rohini], do we want to revert this? Or create a new jira?

> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser

>
> It looks like there is a bug in how parameter substitution is handled in
> PreprocessorContext.java that causes parameter values that contain
> backslashed to not be processed correctly, resulting in the backslashes being
> lost. For example, if you had the following:
> {code:java}
> %DECLARE A `echo \$foo\\bar`
> B = LOAD $A
> {code}
> You would expect the echo command to produce the output {{$foo\bar}} but the
> actual value that gets substituted is {{\$foobar}}. This is happening because
> the {{substitute}} method in PreprocessorContext.java uses a regular
> expression replacement instead of a basic string substitution and $ and \ are
> special characters. The code attempts to escape $, but does not escape
> backslash.
