A:
You can simply use String.replaceAll()
String foo = "hai how are\\ you?";
String bar = foo.replaceAll("\\\\", "");

Umm ... is that correct? Don't you need to escape the '\' twice? Once for the literal string and once for the regex; e.g. `foo.replaceAll("\\\\", "")`

A:
str = str.replaceAll("\\\\", "");
or
str = str.replace("\\", "");
replaceAll() treats the first argument as a regex, so you have to double escape the backslash. replace() treats it as a literal string, so you only have to escape it once.

A:
String foo = "hai how are\ you?"; String bar = foo.replaceAll("\\", ""); Doesnt work java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException occurs.... Find out the reason!! @Alan has already answered.. good
String bar = foo.replace("\\", ""); Does work
