I need to replace one char in another in string

I have try this :

name = "you\me"

result=name.replace('\','/')
print(name)
print("******************")
print(result)

but I get this error

SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string litera

what can I do ?

Thanks ,

\ is the escape character and is used to indicate he next character is special. For example, \n is a newline character and not '\' followed by 'n'. If you want a backslash as a character you use an escape backslash or '\\'

The backslash is a special character. When you type '\', python thinks you're trying to put a single quote into a string, not terminate the string. To avoid this and have it insert a backslash, you need to double the backslash.

Change the line to:

result=name.replace('\\','/')
