How to remove \ from a String

Hi,
How to remove \ from a String.
I used

String str = xml.replaceAll("\\","");    

But I got java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException.
Thanks in advance

You need to add two more slashes in the first String. The pattern is sent to another class before it is processed, so you need to make sure you have enough escapes.

This works for me:

String newPath = path.replaceAll("\\Q\\\\E","");

Or according to Keith

String newPath = path.replaceAll("\\\\","");

Or the simple form

String newPath = path.replace("\\","");

Not exactly what I'd call "advanced".
