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 
210
Press \/ to change every backslash to a forward slash, in the current line. Press \\ to change every forward slash to a backslash, in the current line.
Summary: The Backslash and Forward SlashThe backslash (\) is mostly used in computing and isn't a punctuation mark. The forward slash (/) can be used in place of “or” in less formal writing. It's also used to write dates, fractions, abbreviations, and URLs.
The forward slash is not a special character in grep, but may be in tools like sed, Ruby, or Perl. You probably want to escape your literal periods, though, and it does no harm to escape the slash. This should work in all cases: \.
sed can perform text transformations on input stream from a file or from a pipeline. Example:
echo 'C:\foo\bar.xml' | sed 's/\\/\//g' gets
C:/foo/bar.xml If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
