Question

I am trying to get the absolute path of working directory, and pass it to a method.
I am getting the path in the form

C:\eclipse\workspace\file.txt

but eclipse must receive it in the form:

C:\\eclipse\\workspace\\file.txt

So I am doing a replace, but it works only for one char, how to modify it?

String path = new File("").getAbsolutePath();
path  = path.replace( '\\', '\\\\' );
something  = method.read(path+"\\file.txt");

Answer 1

Change this:

path  = path.replace( '\\', '\\\\' );

To this:

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