Hi,
I guess you need something like this:
> str1<-"G:\\Compensation Audits_Reports\\Step Audit\\Steps off Step.accdb"
> gsub('\\\\','/',str1)
[1] "G:/Compensation Audits_Reports/Step Audit/Steps off Step.accdb"
A.K.

Hi Duncan,
That's right but I want to be able to use this to replace back slashes with
front slashes when I copy and paste file paths. How can I make this work so I
don't get this error?
Thanks.
Dan

This isn't anything to do with sub(), it's the third string that's the
problem. When you say "G:\Comp..." it thinks you've escaped the C, but there's
no such escape.
