Getting Backslash index

Question

I need help on getting the index of the backslash.

How do I do something like..

int l = sms.lastIndexOf("\")

That code wouldn't even compile. Please provide a short but complete program demonstrating the problem. — Jon Skeet, Jun 29 '15 at 19:04

You need to escape the backslash like this:

int index = str.lastIndexOf("\\");

Check this for more info on characters of this kind.
