how to reaplce any value in file with single backslash in java

Question

String newContent = oldContent.replace("\\", "\");

A windows path in a config file which is being modified by another program with \ After that i running this code to replace all \\ with \

As you can see in your own line of code, `"\"` is not a valid `String`… By the way, what exactly is your question? Have you tried `oldContent.replace("\\\\", "\\")`? — deHaar, Sep 28 '18 at 09:01
