I have a data file that has lines like "foo\n\0" where the \n\0 is acutally backslash+n+backslash+0. I.E. a repr of the string from python would be "foo\\n\\0". I'm trying to convert this string into one that contains actual newlines and whatnot.
r"foo\n\0".decode("string_escape") -- Michael Hoffman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
