(\\)<\/strong> as a regular character, preventing it from acting as an escape character.<\/p>\nThis is particularly handy when you want to include backslashes in strings, like in regular expressions or Windows file paths. This guide delves into the fundamentals of Python’s raw strings, offering examples to showcase their utility, especially when incorporating special characters within strings.<\/p>\n
Including a Newline Character in a String Using Raw String<\/h2>\n
In this example, the string contains the value: Hi\\nHello World.<\/p>\n
When you attempt to assign this value to a standard string, the newline character (\\n) results in a line break<\/strong><\/p>\nExample<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\r\nvar_data = 'Hi\\nHello World\r\n#print string\r\nprint(var_data)<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Output<\/strong><\/p>\nHi Hello World<\/p>\n
The result indicates that the newline character causes a line break.<\/p>\n
To add a new line in the text, start the text with r or R to make it a raw string.<\/p>\n
Example<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\r\nvar_data = r'Hi\\nHello World'\r\n#print string\r\nprint(var_data)<\/code><\/pre>\n
