Hi, a) you are not able to give us the code that you use ? b) a file form a unix file system will under Windows have backslashes and you don't need this c) Windows understand path names with a slash, i.e., c:/Windows/System32 will work and mixture of back and forward slashes c:\Windows/System32 will work as well so it is total useless what you are doing and finaly why not use StringReplace[string, "\\"->"/"] ??
