Hi there,

i'm trying to do the following in c sharp:

string str;

str.replace("\\","\");

I'm getting an error on the second line saying "new line in constant".. apparently replace function in c# can't have a value "\" only.

any thoughts?

Hi,

can you provide the string value in str and which character you want to replace ?

checkout what is the output in browser not in Code Behind.

string str = "First\\Second";
str = str.Replace("\\\\", "\\");
Response.Write(str);

Hi

str.Replace("\\\\", "\\");

'\\' means single '\' in strings

That isn't a bug in C#.  That is a escape sequence character available from the days of C.

string str;

str.Replace("\\\\","\\");

or

str.Replace(@"\\",@"\");

Since, you need to replace two double slashes to a single slash.  Instead of typing extra slash every time you can place an "@" before your string.

What about this?

string str = "\\";
               char c = (char)92;
               str =   str.Replace("\\",c.ToString());

Just for knowledge.

I've fixed the problem... the solution would be as to what chandu2chandu1 said..

thx

\ is escape sequence char so you cant directly use. you need to use it as the ecape sequence char only.
