Replacing chars in a property

[Nicolai Kamenzky <ka...@inf.fu-berlin.de>]

Hi folks!

I have a property which contains a path "C:\Documents and Settings 
\..." and I have to convert it to this format "c/Documents\ and\  
Settings/...". Thus I have to replace "\" with "/" and so on.

How do I do this? I can access my property with ${myProperty} and  
want to get another property with the replaced chars.

Cheers,
Nicolai
