\ Char Problems

Hi, I have a code that converts certain chars (l33t chars) into normal text. What I am trying to do is convert all instances of "/\/\" in a string to "M". I have some code that stores all the leet/normal text conversions like so: "M" => "/\/\", "N" => "|\|" The problems is that if I have it like this then I get a parse error because of the \ chars. If I change the code like this: "M" => "/\\/\\", "N" => "|\\|" Then the conversion is not made because it will not find "/\\/\\" in the string, only "/\/\". Any ideas?
