HOW REPLACE SYMBOL \

How replace this symbol "\" ?

local text = 'aaa\bbb'
text = text:gsub('\\','') 	-- don't work
text = text:gsub('%\\','') 	-- don't work
text = text:gsub('\','') 	-- don't work and an error in debugscript
text = text:gsub('%\','')	-- don't work and an error in debugscript

text = text:gsub('\\','') 	-- don't work

probably this is the good one, but your debug tests are wrong, because:

local text = 'aaa\bbb'

In this string \ is not a character, I mean its not a simple backslash.
Because its "interact" with the next b. So \b this two character is "one" special character.

I've tried it, and worked:

text = 'aaa\bbb'

print(text)

text2 = text:gsub('\b', 'b')

print(text2)
