Hmm, what you call special treatment<g> comes from pythons deep underlying C and C++ language heietidge I presume. A backslash in a C or C++ string means the following character is a so called escape character, like \n represents a newline and \r a return to the beginning of a line. If you really want a backslash you need to type it twice like so \\. Has nothing to do with Windows...;-)) Greetings from sunny Amsterdam, Jan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
