Hi,

I am facing 1 problem.. I have follwing string and I want to replace / with \ ....

String str = "\\rahul\\sam/man/bay";

I itried with replace function...but did not help ...Is there any idea..so that I can get String in this way "\\rahul\\sam\man\bay"

I itried with replace function...but did not help ...

How did you do it ?

I tried...but did not help..

System.out.println("Str:"+str.replace('/','\\'));

Is it different from what you want ? Please explain what is different.

I tried and it did replace forward slashes with the backward ones for me.

All,

I want \\rahul\\sam/man/bay ------> \\rahul\\sam\man\bay

Thanks in advance.

By looking at the output it seems that you want two backward slashes for rahul and sam respectively. Because input string is having only two "\\" (for each of them) the first one behaves as escape character for the second one. (It tells compiler that succeeding \ should be literally considered as backward slash.) And so you end up having only one \ in your output. Can you change i/p string? This is what I thought after looking at your desired output.

String str= "\\\\Rahul\\\\Sam/man/bay";
System.out.println("Str: "+str.replace('/','\\'); -------> \\Rahul\\Sam\man\bay

Will this help?

I want \\rahul\\sam/man/bay ------> \\rahul\\sam\man\bay

What does System.out.println("\\rahul\\sam/man/bay"); print ? As Jaydeep explained, you are under the false impression that there are two slashes before rahul and sam.
