String replace a Backslash

Question

How can I do a string replace of a back slash.

Input Source String:

sSource = \"http://www.example.com\\/value\";

Answer 1

sSource = sSource.replace("\\/", "/");

• String is immutable - each method you invoke on it does not change its state. It returns a new instance holding the new state instead. So you have to assign the new value to a variable (it can be the same variable)
• replaceAll(..) uses regex. You don't need that.
