Replace regular expression with \t in Notepad++

Question

simple example in Notepad++ using RegEx replace
search for: anything
replace with (wanted): \\test

1. guess for regex replace string: \\test
   results in: tab est , so the \\t is interpreted as a tab

2. guess for regex replace string: \\\\test
   results in: \\ tab est , so the first \\ is interpreted as a \\, the \\t is interpreted as a tab

3. guess for regex replace string: \\ test ( space in between \\ and test)
   results in: \\ test ( space in between \\ and test)

How can I do this to get \\test as the result? Are there any group or end of command characters for the replace string? Or an empty character that I can add after the \\?

Thanks, Axel

Answer 1

这似乎是记事本++的一个悬而未决的问题 。

Answer 2

How about replacing with \\\\test ? Usually \\ must be escaped with \\ .

Answer 3

尝试3个反斜杠，这种事情通常适用于其他工具/语言。

Answer 4

\\\\test should do the trick. Try it and let me know.
