Strange but all of a sudden when I try to replace "/" with "\" the forward slash is just deleted but not replaced. Any thoughts?
Example:
'H:/Documents/Data Management/TEST/163_ExportAll.d01'
'H:DocumentsData ManagementTEST163_ExportAll.d01'
You may have the "Regular expression search" checked. Uncheck it and retry.
Can you please provide the SAS code which does this?
Its not even code. This is a simple use of the Replace tool.
Which "Replace Tool"? What client and which version on which OS are you using?
SAS 9.3 on WinX67_7Pro
The replace option is found under Edit-->Replace (Ctrl+H)
You may have the "Regular expression search" checked. Uncheck it and retry.
That was it! Thanks a lot.
