JavaScript Strings
The replace() Method

replace() searches a string for a value,
and returns a new string with the specified value(s) replaced:

Hello Murali,

Please try the below code to get the expected result.
```
var sourceStr = "test\sample";
var resultStr = myStr.replace(/\/g, "\\");

console.log(resultStr)
```
Thanks

To replace a single backslash \ with a double backslash \\ in a string using jQuery, you can use the replace() method. Here's an example:
```
var userId = "test\\sample";
var replacedUserId = userId.replace(/\\/g, "\\\\");

console.log(replacedUserId); // Output: test\\sample
```

Try this

var myStr = 'test\sample';

var newStr = myStr.replace(/\/g, "\\");

console.log(newStr)

var userId = 'test\\sample';
var replacedUserId = userId.replace(/\\/g, '\\\\');
console.log(replacedUserId);
