Use sed to replace all backslashes with forward slashes

Question

I want to be able to use sed to take an input such as:

C:\\Windows\\Folder\\File.txt

to

C:/Windows/Folder/File.txt
<         


        

Answer 1

I had to use [\\] or [/] to be able to make this work, FYI.

awk '!/[\\]/' file > temp && mv temp file

and

awk '!/[/]/' file > temp && mv temp file

I was using awk to remove backlashes and forward slashes from a list.
