how to compare a single char in a string?

[RajVerma]

hi all,
is there any way to get the lrange according to the characters of the list instead of lindex. for example if I have a string "xwinnmr/tcl/acqu.txt" and I want to convert it to "xwinnmr\tcl\acqu.txt" that can be used by windows. so I want to check for every slash and copy the string in between the slashes to a buffer and then write a new string with "buff1\buff2\buff3". is this possible?
thanq.

Suppose "t1" is your starting string (with "/"s).
regsub -all {/} $t1 {\\} t2
Then "t2" will now have "\"s.

To translate a string from "xwinnmr/tcl/acqu.txt" to "xwinnmr\tcl\acqu.txt" the better (and simpler) is:

  set new_string [string map {/ \\} $old_string]
