I have a log file with full Windows paths on a line. eg: K:\A\B\C\10xx\somerandomfilename.ext->/a1/b1/c1/10xx \somerandomfilename.ext ; t9999xx; 11/23/2009 15:00:16 ; 1259006416
As I try to pull in the line and process it, python changes the "\10" to a "\x08". This is before I can do anything with it. Is there a way to specify that incoming lines (say, when using .readlines() ) should be treated as raw strings? TIA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
