Hi @sakej
Is this what you were looking for?

Global $strString = "//something/moresomething/moremoresomething/"

ConsoleWrite("String before: '" & $strString & "'" & @CRLF & _
             "String after: '" & StringReplace($strString, "/", "\") & "'" & @CRLF)

Hi.

you need to "escape" the "\" in your (one char) replace string:

Local $stringReplace="//something/something"
Local $stringReplace2=StringRegExpReplace($stringReplace, '/', '\\')
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $stringReplace2 = ' & $stringReplace2 & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

regards, rudi.

Thanks @rudi I've been banging my head over this for an hour now.

It works now with escaping

Yes if you use regex you need to escape it.

If you just use stringreplace() you do not, and for this particular task the normal string replace is adequate as your not really demanding anything that needs regex.
