Edit command does not work on 'slash' character

Problem Definition

When trying to edit a sentence that contains the slash character '/', the character cannot be edited via the s/ command. It would be sent as an ordinary message.

For example, to edit the '/' character, the command input is this :

s///test

It would be sent as a new message

Suggested Solution

Have some sort of escape character of some sort so that it would recognize that the character is not part of the command
