[SOLVED] how to use sed to replace all backslashes with double quote?

Issue

I am trying to use this to replace all backslashes with double quotes.

sed -e "s/'\\\\''/\"/g" nomefile

this doesn't do anything.

Input: "prova d\"amico"

Desired output: "prova d""amico"

Solution

sed -e 's/\\/"/g'

Will replace all / with "

➜ sed -e 's/\\/"/g' input
"prova d""amico"
