Finding the position of backslash character in a string

843835May 27 2003 — edited Feb 28 2008
Hi everyone,

I have a string which represents a file path.
Example:
String str = "C:\test\test.jsp";

I need to find the position of back-slash("\") characters in this string. Can anyone help me with this.

I tried doing by following methods:
(1) str.indexOf("\")
(2) Using ASCII Value of backslash and comparing that value to integer casted value of each character in string.

The first method returns error and second one doesnt returns anything.

Thanks.
