Well, what have you tried? Have you tried the replace() method? BTW, you do know that strings are immutable, and that the best you can do is create a new string (with replaced values), right?

THIS IS THE PART OF CODE
yahooBasePath=properties.getProperty("YAHOOBASEPATH");
yahooBasePath1=properties.getProperty("YAHOOBASEPATH");

String[] tokens = yahooBasePath1.split("\\");
System.out.println(tokens[0]);
try
{
int len = tokens.length;
String url;
for (int i = 0; i <len; i++)
{
System.out.println(tokens[0] + tokens[len]);
url = tokens[i] + "\\\\";
}
System.out.println("url");

System.out.println("Propety Read :" + yahooBasePath);
}
catch (Exception e) { }

I was thinking something like....

yahooBasePath = yahooBasePath.replace("\\", "\\\\");
