interpreted as
 special characters, you can use *raw strings* by adding an ``r`` before
 the first quote::
 
-   >>> print('C:\some\name')  # here \n means newline!
-   C:\some
+   >>> print('C:\this\name')  # here \t means tab, \n means newline
+   C:      his
    ame
-   >>> print(r'C:\some\name')  # note the r before the quote
-   C:\some\name
+   >>> print(r'C:\this\name')  # note the r before the quote
+   C:\this\name
