Replace back slash (\) with forward slash (/) [duplicate]

Question

I need to replace this path: C:\test1\test2 into this: C:/test1/test2

I am using jquery but it doesn't seem to work

var path = "C:\test1\test2";
var path2 = path.replace("\", "//");

How should it be done?

You have to escape to backslashes.

var path = "C:\\test1\\test2";
var path2 = path.replace(/\\/g, "/");
console.log(path2);
