Can I use sed to manipulate a variable in bash?

Question

In my program, I would like to first get the user input, and insert a \\ before each / so I write this, but it doesn\'t work.

echo

You can also use Parameter-Expansion to replace sub-strings in variable. For example:

website="https://stackoverflow.com/a/58899829/658497"
echo "${website//\//\\/}"
