Question

How to convert a path:

t = 'c:\temp\xx'

I want to get “something like” that:

x = r't'

I usually uses
x = r’c:\temp\xx’
and receives
x = r’c:\\temp\\xx’

I don’t know how to assign the ‘r’ to another object..

Answer 1

You can’t. You can apply r string prefix to string literals. So you need:

x = r'c:\temp\xx'

The r't' expression will give you a raw 't' string. That’s it.

If what you need is to duplicate the \ character on your destination string x, you can use replace:

x = t.encode('string_escape')
