Hi Riot,

 

In the formula tool you will set up a new column as an Int, and the formula will simply be

IF Contains([Field],"\")

THEN 1

ELSE 0

ENDIF

 

Thats for v10, if you are on an older version then

IF Findstring([Field],"\") > -1

THEN 1

ELSE 0

ENDIF

Thank you! That worked. I feel silly for not figuring it out.
