hi, I've got this C# problem that i cant solve.. could someone please give me a hand on this?

i'm having trouble putting two backslashes in a string, here's what I was trying to do.. I needed to replace the single backslash in a file path with two backslashes, I have written a little method to do something similar already. for example:

string filelocation = Regex.Replace(prelocation,"\"","");

will replace all double quotes in the string with nothing (in another word it takes out the double quotes) and i know this works

however, with backslashes, it doesn't apear to work...for example

string filelocation = Regex.Replace(prelocation,"\\","\\\\");

doesnt work. the program stop with an error that says
"Additional information: parsing "\" - Illegal \ at end of pattern."

I've also even tried

string filelocation = Regex.Replace(prelocation,@"\",@"\\");

which also gives the same error


any help is appreciated!!
