I have a String that consists of, "C:\My Stuff\Cool\ok.txt".

How can I first convert that into a string and then whenever there is a a '\' character, add another one?

Actually, I can convert, I think, I just need help with the '\'.

This is how I was trying to do it

	public static String addSlash(String file){
		
		char[] finshed_pathname, orginal_pathname;
		int length = file.length();
		
		orginal_pathname = new char[length];
		
		file.getChars(0,length,orginal_pathname, 0);
		System.out.println(length);
		
		// Get teh length for the finishedFile array
		for(int i = 0 ; i < orginal_pathname.length ; i++){
			if(orginal_pathname[i] == '\\'){
				length++;
			}
			System.out.print(orginal_pathname[i]);
		}
		System.out.println();
		System.out.println(length);
		
		
		finshed_pathname = new char[length];
		
		for(int i = 0, j=0 ; i < orginal_pathname.length ; i++){
			finshed_pathname[j] = orginal_pathname[i];
			System.out.print(finshed_pathname[j]);
			if(orginal_pathname[i] == '\\'){
				j++;
				finshed_pathname[j] = '\\';
				System.out.print(finshed_pathname[j]);
			}
			
		}
		System.out.println();
				
		file = new String(finshed_pathname);
		return file;
	}

Generates : \\\\\t...................................
BUT, the out.prints in the for loop creates this:
C:\\Documents and Settings\\stricbr3\\Desktop\\Info\\Q&A.txt

What am I doing wrong?


Thanks
