Java: replaceAll doesn't work well with backslash?

Question

I\'m trying to replace the beginning of a string with backslashes to something else. For some weird reason the replaceAll function doesn\'t like backslashes.

Str         


        

Answer 1

jarPath = jarPath.replaceAll("\\\\\\\\xyz\\\\abc", "z:");

For each '\' in your string you should put '\\' in the replaceAll method.
