How to Replace String in Groovy

Question

I have some string like

C:\dev\deploy_test.log

I want by means of Groovy to convert string to

C:/dev/deploy_test.log

I try to perform it with command

Change_1 = Log_file_1.replaceAll('\','/');

It doesn't convert this string

Accepted Answer

You need to escape the backslash \:

println yourString.replace("\\", "/")

Answer 2

You could also use Groovy's slashy string, which helps reduce the clutter of Java's escape character \ requirements. In this case, you would use:

Change_1 = Log_file_1.replaceAll(/\/,'/');

Slashy strings also support interpolation, and can be multi-line. They're a great tool to add to your expertise.
