Selecting Node text with a blackslash

I have a Node:

<id>V1394\1TRY4</id>

When I attempt to select the Node based on it's text it fails:

Set Node = xml.selectSingleNode("/id[. = 'V1394\1TRY4']")

If I remove the backslash, \, from the equation it works:

<id>V13941TRY4</id>
Set Node = xml.selectSingleNode("/id[. = 'V13941TRY4']")

Is there a way to select a Node whose text contains a backslash?

Thanks!

I see now that this statement solves the issue:

xml.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"

Thanks,
