#12 Warning: unrecognized character escape sequence: \/

[icnocop]

Thank you for FART 1.99b.

When replacing a string that has a forward slash, FART produces a warning:
Warning: unrecognized character escape sequence: \/

But it still works.

Here is an example:
fart.exe -C "%ProgramFiles%\OpenSSH\etc\passwd" "\/home\/" "\/cygdrive\/c\/Users\/"

There are also some other examples in the comments/discussion of the article here:

Thank you.

Greetings!
I use

fart.exe --preview --c-style "%%~fF" "\\/" "/"

but experience the same "Warning: unrecognized character escape sequence: \/" issue, but in my case FART 1.99b does 0 replacements...

Is there workaround to replace "\/" with "/"?

Thank you.

fart.exe doesn't make replacements when you pass '--preview'.

[Andrey Kazak]

OK, got it.
However nothing changes if I remove '--preview' key.

Thank you for the suggestion.
I create a new issue at the current project's home.
