Replacing all the '\' chars to '/' with C#

Question

How can I replace all the \'\\\' chars in a string into \'/\' with C#? For example, I need to make @\"c:/abc/def\" from @\"c:\\abc\\def\".

Answer 1

The Replace function seems suitable:

string input = @"c:\abc\def";
string result = input.Replace(@"\", "/");

And be careful with a common gotcha:

Due to string immutability in .NET this function doesn't modify the string instance you are invoking it on => it returns the result.
