I did it with this ugly thing :

function escapePath(p) {
if (indexOf(p, "\\") > 0) {
pE = split(p, "\\");
pF = ""+ pE[0] + "\\" + "\\";
for (i = 1; i < pE.length; i++) {
pF = pF + pE[i] + "\\" + "\\";
}
}
else {
pF = p;
}
print(pF);
return pF;
}


but a proper replacement string would be nicer (could never wrap my head
around regex syntax)
