I'm finding this quite odd: I want to replace all slashes for backslashes in a string, but i'm having trouble! Running this: (replace-regexp-in-string "/" "\\" "c:/emacs/lisp/") I get: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid use of `\\' in replacement text") And if I try: (replace-regexp-in-string "/" "\" "c:/emacs/lisp/") I get: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (scan-error "Unbalanced parentheses" 302 1) So, I don't see any other options! I know the problems is there because I replace for another string then it works: (replace-regexp-in-string "/" "x" "c:/emacs/lisp/") "c:xemacsxlispx" So, any ideas? Thanks again! HS
