Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I need to know way of inserting backward slash before forward slash. My problem is that i need to supply directory path as an argument while invoking cshell script. This argument is further used in script (i.e. sed is used to insert this path in some file). So i need to place \ in front of / in path.

I am thinking of saving path supplied as argument in some variable and then processing that variable before it is supplied to sed. Can any one suggest me way of finding & inserting \. Please try to answer with csh & sed ass refernce as my script is in cshell.
