Replace \\ with \ in C#

Question

I have a long string (a path) with double backslashes, and I want to replace it with single backslashes:

string a = \"a\\\\b\\\\c\\\\d\";
string b = a.Rep         


        

Answer 1

You're wrong. "\\" return \ (know as escaping)

string a = "a\\b\\c\\d";
System.Console.WriteLine(a);  // prints a\b\c\d
string b = a.Replace(@"\\", @"\");  
System.Console.WriteLine(b);  // prints a\b\c\d

You don't even need string b = a.Replace(@"\\", @"\");
