How to remove a single \ to \\

Hi all,

I have a string with a '\' character and need to add one more \ to make it two.

example

var str="melton \john"

result

str should be "melton \\john"

Thanks in advance

Is the value of str variable dynamically generated on the server-side? If yes, then you need to do the replacement of \ to \\ in the server-side.
