Removing backslashes from a string in Python

Question

How do I remove all the backslashes from a string in Python?

This is not working for me:

result = result.replace("\\", result)

Do I need to treat result as a raw string?

Answer 1

Your code is saying to replace each instance of '\' with result. Have you tried changing it to result.replace("\\", "") ?

Answer 2

result = result.replace("\\", "")
