Hallo everyone,
have an idea why this is it not working?:
replace-regexp-in-string "/" "\\" "a / b")
I just want to replace every "/" through an "\".
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid use of `\\' in replacement text")
  replace-match("\\" nil nil "/" nil)
  replace-regexp-in-string("/" "\\" "a / b")
  eval((replace-regexp-in-string "/" "\\" "a / b"))
  eval-expression((replace-regexp-in-string "/" "\\" "a / b") nil)
Greetings

You have to quote the backslash:
(replace-regexp-in-string "/" "\\\\" "a / b")

Yes, I already quoted the letter, please see below. Your quotation works but it produces an "a \ b" and not "a  b" what I intended to. I am struggeling with the commands (shell-command "command "c:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/.."")  I hope this works anyway in this case. Very Thanks.

Then use this:

	(replace-regexp-in-string "/" "" "a / b")

The slash is replaced by nothing.
