Using the slashes in the sed command can be confusing.

Try
In this example instead of using '\' as the separator between sed fields I used '#' to make it more readable, I also escaped the '/' and '\' just to be sure it knew what to do. What it does is substitute '\' with '/' and then 'g' for global in the stream (in this case filename.txt).

There's no need to escape the forward-slash is you use a different delimiter.
