[R] replace double backslash with singel backslash

[Kay Cichini]

I want to replace \\ with \ in:
str <-
"C:\\DOKUME~1\\u0327336\\LOKALE~1\\Temp\\RtmpQ5NJ8X\\TIRIS_PICS\\1_Img.jpg"

and tried:
gsub("\\\\", "\\", str)

but this removes the \\ without replacing them by \

Any help much appreciated,
Kay
