Hi, I need some help detecting the escape character '\'. It doesn't show up when it's in a string. I'm trying to convert '/\' into '&&' and '\/' into '||'. Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I need some help detecting the escape character '\'.

Please provide an example of the input string and the desired output.

Most of them comes in the form of arguments.
For example, 'a\/b(c/\a)'.
It's like doing 'a||b(c&&a)' in Javascript.

For example, 'a\/b(c/\a)'.

	arg_wrk = arg_wrk.replace(/\\\//g, '||');
	arg_wrk = arg_wrk.replace(/\/\\/g, '&&');
	document.getElementById("arg_out").firstChild.data = arg_wrk;
    </script>

Thanks a lot. Why didn't I think of that earlier.
