Escaping a backslash in Batch File using FINDSTR

Question

In my svn Pre commit hooks I use findstr to block certain file types beign committed. I now want to extend this to directories, in the first instance \obj\ directories however I am having problems with the Regular expression and escaping the \ of the dir

Currently I have

"C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnlook.exe" changed -t %2 %1 | FindStr /R ".obj\\\"
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 1 GOTO OK
echo "obj directories cannot be committed" >&2
exit 1
:OK
exit 0

i have tried with just \ at the end but that seems to escape the double quotes as well?

Any Ideas?

I solved this using the following.

:CHECKOBJDIRWITHFILES
"C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnlook.exe" changed -t %2 %1  > "C:\Repositories\SoftwareRepository\hooks\out.txt"
"C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnlook.exe" changed -t %2 %1 | FindStr /R ./obj/.
echo %ERRORLEVEL% > "C:\Repositories\SoftwareRepository\hooks\error.txt"
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 1 GOTO CHECKOBJDIRWITHOUTFILES
echo "obj directories and their files cannot be committed" >&2
exit 1
:CHECKOBJDIRWITHOUTFILES
"C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnlook.exe" changed -t %2 %1  > "C:\Repositories\SoftwareRepository\hooks\out.txt"
"C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnlook.exe" changed -t %2 %1 | FindStr /R ./obj
echo %ERRORLEVEL% > "C:\Repositories\SoftwareRepository\hooks\error.txt"
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 1 GOTO OK
echo "obj directories cannot be committed" >&2
exit 1
:OK
echo %ERRORLEVEL%  >&2
exit 0
