Java how to replace backslash?

Question

In java, I have a file path, like 'C:\A\B\C', I want it changed to ''C:/A/B/C'. how to replace the backslashes?

Answer 1

    String text = "C:\\A\\B\\C";
    String newString = text.replace("\\", "/");
    System.out.println(newString);

Answer 2

Since you asked for a regular expression, you'll have to escape the '\' character several times:

String path = "c:\\A\\B\\C";
System.out.println(path.replaceAll("\\\\", "/"));

Answer 3

You can do this using the String.replace method:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String foo = "C:\\foo\\bar";
    String newfoo = foo.replace("\\", "/");
    System.out.println(newfoo);
}

Answer 4

To replace all occurrences of a given character :

String result = candidate.replace( '\\', '/' );

Answer 5

String oldPath = "C:\\A\\B\\C";
String newPath = oldPath.replace('\\', '/');
