A:
You can use newString = [oldString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\\" withString:@""];

also, look at the other functions in the "Replacing Substrings" section in the NSString documentation.

That doesn't work - 'Missing terminating character'

You need to double the backslash to represent one backslash. `@"\\"`.

A:
NSString* original=@"\\/images\\/content\\/booking_thumbs_uk\\/s_kl\\/50000\\/THB_999_H54007.jpg";
NSString* removed=[original stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\\" withString:@""];
NSLog(@"%@",removed); // shows /images/content/booking_thumbs_uk/s_kl/00000/THB_999_H2470.jpg
Be very careful, because inside the source code between "..." the backslash has a special meaning. In order to represent an honest backslash, you need to double it, like "\\".

I don't know what happened; my post got corrupted when I first posted it. It looked OK on the preview page. So I re-posted the same thing, which works now. Strange.
