Hello,
I had a simialr problem to this, if you cannot switch \ to / (I
had a problem that I needed to replace a path whihc became a commadn line).
I ended up having to put four \ to replace one \. This ended up being two
for java and two for a regex although you are not using regexs - give that a
go.
Cheers,
Neil
