Question

I have a problem with the symbols ^ and .

I need to replace all \ and ^ with \ and \^. But we don’t know which ones are present in the search string containing it .

The combination can be in any order .

if '\\'or '^' in Pattern:
         Pattern = Pattern.replace("\\",r"\\") 

Now i need to replace \ , ^ or both .Whichever is found .
If both are present , then both . Or if any one of them is found , then that one.

How do we replace conditionally , one , or all …?

You can replace without testing:

Pattern = Pattern.replace("\\",r"\\").replace("^",r"\^")
