Hello
I must insert in my database for a string containing the backslash \ and when reregistration in ABSE data s nothing displays.
So I try to do this:
Code:

myText.replaceAll("\\","\\\\");

Its returns me a syntax error, how to provide a basis to understand my backslash? Any help on this topic will interest me.

Hello,
If I am not wrong then you are getting the following error.

java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: 
Unexpected internal error near index 1
\

If you want to remove this error from getting when you compile the code, then you have to modify your code.

Hello,
Just in case you do this well in your code:

myText = myText.replaceAll("\\", "\\\\");

Because the method replaceAll returns the modified string, and does not alter that which is given as parameter. I hope you are getting the point what I am trying to explain you. If you want more information on this , then you can go to the sun's official site for java and there you can find more detailed information on this.

Here is the code:

   {  
       String str = "abc";

Hello,
I think the most important in such programs is to do the loop, what I am saying is this

loop check:
for (int i=0; i<inputString.length(); i++){
char chval = inputString.charAt(i);
if (chval=='\\'){
return false;
}
}

Hope this will help you.
