how to replace \ with \\ in 3dsmax script. python equivalent is replace command


"D:\zarawintercollection\max2011\scenes\sh03\minor\"

should be

"D:\\zarawintercollection\\max2011\\scenes\\sh03\\minor\\"


Thank you

You would be better off replacing them with a single forward slash. Much easier to do - almost any search&replace will do it - plus it's much less confusing, especially if you're adding strings together to create the full pathname. The \ is an escape character and needs (in some circumstances) to be doubled so you end up with a crazy number of them.

for a hard coded string you don't need to replace anything use the @
to ignore the literals

myStr = @"D:\zarawintercollection\max2011\scenes\sh03\minor\"
