Use sed to replace all backslashes with forward sl

问题:

I want to be able to use sed to take an input such as:

C:\Windows\Folder\File.txt

to

C:/Windows/Folder/File.txt

回答1:

sed can perform text transformations on input stream from a file or from a pipeline. Example:

echo 'C:\foo\bar.xml' | sed 's/\\/\//g'

gets

C:/foo/bar.xml

回答2:

for just translating one char into another throughout a string, tr is the best tool:

tr '\\' '/'

回答3:

Just use:

sed 's.\\./.g'

There's no reason to use / as the separator in sed. But if you really wanted to:

sed 's/\\/\//g'

回答4:

$ echo "C:\Windows\Folder\File.txt" | sed -e 's/\\/\//g'
C:/Windows/Folder/File.txt

The sed command in this case is 's/OLD_TEXT/NEW_TEXT/g'.

The leading 's' just tells it to search for OLD_TEXT and replace it with NEW_TEXT.

The trailing 'g' just says to replace all occurrences on a given line, not just the first.

And of course you need to separate the 's', the 'g', the old, and the new from each other. This is where you must use forward slashes as separators.

For your case OLD_TEXT == '\' and NEW_TEXT == '/'. But you can't just go around typing slashes and expecting things to work as expected be taken literally while using them as separators at the same time. In general slashes are quite special and must be handled as such. They must be 'escaped' (i.e. preceded) by a backslash.

So for you, OLD_TEXT == '\\' and NEW_TEXT == '\/'. Putting these inside the 's/OLD_TEXT/NEW_TEXT/g' paradigm you get
's/\\/\//g'. That reads as
's / \\ / \/ / g' and after escapes is
's / \ / / / g' which will replace all backslashes with forward slashes.

回答5:

If your text is in a Bash variable, then Parameter Substitution ${var//\\//} can replace substrings:

$ p='C:\foo\bar.xml'
$ printf '%s\n' "$p"
C:\foo\bar.xml
$ printf '%s\n' "${p//\\//}"
C:/foo/bar.xml

This may be leaner and clearer that filtering through a command such as tr or sed.

回答6:

This might work for you:

sed 'y/\\/\//'

回答7:

For me, this replaces one backslash with a forward slash.

sed -e "s/\\\\/\//"  file.txt

回答8:

You can try

sed 's:\\:\/:g'`

The first \ is to insert an input, the second \ will be the one you want to substitute.

So it is 's ":" First Slash "\" second slash "\" ":" "\" to insert input "/" as the new slash that will be presented ":" g'

\\ \/ 

And that's it. It will work.

I had to use [\\] or [/] to be able to make this work, FYI.

awk '!/[\\]/' file > temp && mv temp file

and

awk '!/[/]/' file > temp && mv temp file

I was using awk to remove backlashes and forward slashes from a list.
