I am trying to replace a series of periods in a sting with backspaces
that way I can easily parse information from a Windows command.  the
current statement I have for this is

***************************Statement************************************
capture = re.sub('\.*', '\b', capture)

The * means "ZERO or more" occurrences - matching practically everywhere.
I think you want \.+ -- one or more occurrences of a literal period. To actually have a \ in the string, you have to write it as "\\.+" or r"\.+"

===Out Put===
str: \bi\bp\bc\bo\bn\bf\bi\bg\b \b/\ba\bl\bl\b\n\b\n\bW\bi\bn\bd\bo\bw
\bs\b \bI\bP\b \bC\bo\bn\bf\bi\bg\bu\br\ba\bt\bi\bo\bn\b\n\b\n\b \b \b
==============================END============================

which paces a bunch of '\b' strings throughout the string (to me at
random).  It sort of works if I use this command but I don't want
there to be whitespace...

You want those \b, don't you? Just not everywhere...

===Out Put===
str: ipconfig /all\n\nWindows IP Configuration\n\n   Host

Except for the last '...' I don't see any '.' in that string to be replaced...
