title: How to remove backslashes in a string
body: <p>I get a string from a website called &quot;willekeurigwoord.nl&quot; which means random word. So when I get the string from the site with HtmlAgilityPack, it is formatted like &quot;\n\t\t\tkegelvrucht\r\n \t\n\t\t&quot;.</p>
  <p>So the word that I get is &quot;kegelvrucht&quot; but before and after the word there are backslashes which when I try to remove they get ignored even when I put &quot;@&quot; or use double backslashes (&quot;\&quot;) in front of the string.</p>
  <p>So my question is, how do I remove the \ in my string?</p>
  <p>I did try everything that is in the comment lines.</p>
  <pre><code>    private string RandomWordOnline() //Get the word online
      {
          //get string from htlm file with htmlagilitypack
          var webGet = new HtmlWeb();
          var doc = webGet.Load(&quot;http://www.willekeurigwoord.nl/&quot;);
          String word = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode(&quot;//h1&quot;).InnerText;
  
          //word = word.Replace(@&quot;\&quot;, &quot;&quot;);            
          //word = @word.Trim(new char[] {' ','\\'});
          //word = word.Substring(8, word.Length - 13);
          //word = word.Substring(0, 13);
  
          //trying to remove backslash, does not work
          for (int i = 0; i &lt; word.Length; i++)
          {
  
              char chrWord = Convert.ToChar(word.Substring(i, 1));
              char backslash = Convert.ToChar(@&quot;\&quot;);
              if (chrWord == backslash)
              {
                  word = word.Remove(i, 1);
              }
  
          }
  
          return word;           
      }
