Get Java file path in the format with "\\"

Question

I have a Java code which uses the JFileChooser component and it gets the folder path in the format D:\Folder\subfolder.

When I use this path to create a new file it does not accept.

So, is there a way I can convert this path to D:\\release\\subfolder or is there any other way to proceed?

@Harsha You should find first is there some kind of questions already on StackOverflow or not ? okk tthen only put your owns. It may harm your reputation is duplicate questions found — Vikrant Kashyap, Mar 08 '16 at 12:26

String replacement can be the answer.

public class FilePathChanger {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String filePath = "D:\\Folder\\subfolder";
        filePath = filePath.replace("\\", "\\\\");
        System.out.println(filePath);
    }
}

Hope it will help you.
