removing backslashes

Ejlersen over 15 years ago

Anyone having any idea how I can replace double backslash characters in a string with single backslash characters?

Example "\\\\NS2009\\hp color LaserJet 2550 PS" replaced to "\\NS2009\hp color LaserJet 2550 PS"

Best regards

Don't be fooled by double back slashes:
strlen("\\\\") => 2 (not 4)
But what you probably want to do is:
rexCompile("\\\\")
rexReplace(str, "/", 0)
To return "//NS2009/hp color LaserJet 2550 PS"
