[R] Replace double slashes with single backslash

[Anbu A]

Hi All,
I am able to replace "r" with "x" for the word "Users" just for a test run.
*Code: newlist %>% mutate(.,new_col=str_replace(fpath,"r","x"))  *- this
works fine
But when I try to replace "\\" with "\".
*newlist %>% mutate(.,new_col=str_replace(fpath,"\\","\")) *, I get a
prompt ">" to complete the code. Not working. There is something on
backslashes to be "masked".
Any help would be appreciated.

                       fpath                         new_col
1 C:\\Users\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\ C:\\Usexs\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\
2 C:\\Users\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\ C:\\Usexs\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\
3 C:\\Users\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\ C:\\Usexs\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\
4 C:\\Users\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\ C:\\Usexs\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\
5 C:\\Users\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\ C:\\Usexs\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\

Thanks,
Anbu.
