The double backslash indicates a multi-value field.  
You have to use an action of the type "Merge duplicate fields" and apply a different separator than the `\\`, e.g. &.

see e.g. here:

> Dear Comunity, I made some find/replace-Action in the field "comment", using "Actions". Worked almost. Now I have in my field comments e.g. "2\\SwingJi" - ok so far. "SwingJi" is what I wanted, dont know, why "2\\" is added. Now, I would like to delete / finde/replace this "2\\" but I dont get it by an Action. Interesting: I can delete it by hand - every single one see_no_evil What shoul I do? Thank you pray
