Thanks anyway.
The reason that you need four backslashes is because the backslash has special meaning in a regex replacement
string. And as mentioned, the backslash has special mean in a Java string literal.
So, to have one literal backslash, you need to escape the backslash with a backslash to turn off the regex replacement string meaning. Then you must escape the two backslashes, each with a backslash to turn off the special meaning in the Java string literal..... hance, 4 backslashes.
