C# string replace

dc

I would like to do the following replace string in a C# string statement:

filesaveLocation.Replace("\\", "\").

I want to replace \\ to be only \.

The compiler does not allow me to have"\"

Can you tell me how to accomplish this goal?

Two options.

You can double the backslashes:

filesaveLocation.Replace("\\\\", "\\");

or, you can use verbatim strings prefixed with @:

filesaveLocation.Replace(@"\\", @"\");
