replace \ with \\

[kiransasi]

Hi all!

I want a java function which replaces the char \ with a string \\.
my actual requirement is to convert a url like

C:\xyz abc\1234\def\

to

C:\\xyz\abc\\12 34\\def\\

I think you are looking for a URI in windows directory, right? :-)
Then you need not to do that.
Windows supports X:\abc\def\ghi. jkl

[code=java]
File file = new File("X:\abc\de f\ghi.jkl");
//it is not valid due to invalid escape sequence.
//then you will need to do like this ............
File file = new File("X:\\abc\\ def\g\hi.jkl");
//it is now valid
File file = new File("X:/abc/def/ghi.jkl");
//it is also valid
[/code]

So you got my point buddy ? :-)

Thanks for the reply!

but my problem is:

Actually i am using a FileDialog box from which the user selects a file
and i am using FileDialog box's getDirectory method...and it will return
the path of the file selected in the form of
D:\xyz abc\1234\

but i have to send the url to the server in the form of

D:\\xyz\abc\\12 34\\

Open the API docs page for the String class and pick your required method.
