How would you do a find and replace in a string where you want to replace spaces (“ “) by the command line equivalent (regarding file system, at least : “\ ”) for some obvious reason, it doesn’t compile, but what’s the workaround ?

The correct solution is usually not to add backslashes, but to quote the string, and the "quoted form" property will do that for you. See <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html#TNTAG3>.
