[SOLVED] StringReplace Multiple BackSlash help

[rootx]

Hi, I need I trick to remove all double or triple etc... backslash. Thx

$string = "I:\test\\xxx\jjj\\\kkk\k.jpg"

Mmmm, I found a way but if you have more elegant way, please post it!

$string = "I:\test\\xxx\jjj\\\kkk\k.jpg"
$root = StringTrimRight($string,StringLen($string)-3)

$aArray = _StringBetween($string, "\", "\")


For $i = UBound($aArray) - 1 To 0 Step -1
    If $aArray[$i] = "" Then
        _ArrayDelete($aArray, $i)
    EndIf
Next

$string2 = _ArrayToString($aArray,"\")
MsgBox("","",$root&$string2)

Hi.

I'm not sure if you really mean remove or mean replace woth only one "\". I guess second. So here is my try with StringRegExpReplace():

Local $string = "I:\test\\xxx\jjj\\\kkk\k.jpg"
$string = StringRegExpReplace($string, "\\+", "\\")
ConsoleWrite($string & @CRLF)

Explanation: searchstring - \\+ - first \ is only masking second\ (otherwise it has another function) and + means one till all \

Replace it with \\. Here the first \ is masking the second \ again.

This should work.

$string = "I:\test\\xxx\jjj\\\kkk\k.jpg"
$string=StringRegExpReplace($string,"\\{2,}","\\")
ConsoleWrite($string & @CRLF)

Saludos

Difference between @Danyfirex and mine: My script replaces all existing \, \\, \\\ ... with \ and Danyfirex' starts with minimum 2 \\ - so \\,\\\ ...
