problems with replace method

[cecily]

I have this string:

Code:

String url="C:\file\test.txt";

and I want to write '/' instead of '\'
like this

Code:

url="C:/file/test.txt";

I've tried to use the replace but It didn't work

Code:

String url="C:\file\test.txt";
System.out.println(url.replace('\\','/'));

please help me

Backslashes in java are escape tokens. To use them as character literals they need to be preceded by a backslash, ie, escaped. So if you want '\' to appear you have to write it as '\\'.

Code:

String escapedLetters = "C:\file\test.txt";
System.out.println("escapedLetters = " + escapedLetters);
String url = "C:\\file\\test.txt";
System.out.println("url = " + url);
String converted = url.replace('\\','/');
System.out.println("converted = " + converted);
