Use sed to replace all backslashes with forward slashes

Question

I want to be able to use sed to take an input such as:

C:\\Windows\\Folder\\File.txt

to

C:/Windows/Folder/File.txt
<         


        

Answer 1

Just use:

sed 's.\\./.g'

There's no reason to use / as the separator in sed. But if you really wanted to:

sed 's/\\/\//g'

Answer 2

This might work for you:

sed 'y/\\/\//'

Answer 3

For me, this replaces one backslash with a forward slash.

sed -e "s/\\\\/\//"  file.txt
