How to match a new line character in Python raw string

Question

I got a little confused about Python raw string. I know that if we use raw string, then it will treat \'\\\' as a normal backslash (ex. r\'\\n\' wo

Answer 1

The simplest answer is to simply not use a raw string. You can escape backslashes by using \\.

If you have huge numbers of backslashes in some segments, then you could concatenate raw strings and normal strings as needed:

r"some string \ with \ backslashes" "\n"

(Python automatically concatenates string literals with only whitespace between them.)

Remember if you are working with paths on Windows, the easiest option is to just use forward slashes - it will still work fine.
