You need "xxx\\something.com" with 2 backslashes for it to escape – Jake Steele Apr 12 '17 at 13:34
Search for "special characters" in https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/Swift_Programming_Language/StringsAndCharacters.html. – Martin R Apr 12 '17 at 13:36
thanks Jake and martin works like a charm – Girish P Apr 12 '17 at 13:40
Jake's answer is the correct one, `\b` becomes `\\b`. – Zack Shapiro Aug 31 '18 at 17:13
need to do `#"This is a Backslash: \"#` (add # on the beginning or on the end) or `"This is a Backslash: \\"` (write double slash) – Andrew_STOP_RU_WAR_IN_UA Feb 26 '20 at 15:09
