trying to work with a directory in windows, that has "\a" in the full pathname
this works: >>> c = string.replace('c:\content\ce\cw\cvd', '\\', '\\') >>> c 'c:\\content\\ce\\cw\\cvd' this doesn't: >>> c = string.replace('c:\content\a\a\avd', '\\', '\\') >>> c 'c:\\content\x07\x07\x07vd' same goes for paths containing "\b" what's the workaround? thank you! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
