What is the problem error message? I can say
> fred <- "blah1\\/blah2\\/blah3"
and then the string looks like...
> cat("#", fred, '#\n', sep='')
#blah1\/blah2\/blah3#
If you just ask R to print it then it looks like...
> fred
[1] "blah1\\/blah2\\/blah3"
>
when you're "playing" with strings and regular expressions, it's vital to
understand the backslash quoting mechanism...
