Answer 1

lots wrong. did not test this but it will get you closer http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/

string stripPath(string path)
{       
        string newpath;  
          for (int i = 0; i <= path.length() ;i++)
            {
                if(path.at(i) == '\\')
                {
                   newpath.append(path.at(i));
                   newpath.append(path.at(i));
                }
                else
                   newpath.append(path.at(i));
            }
        return newpath;
}
