How can I unescape a raw string so that it behaves as a non-raw string? For example, if I read the string "\n\t A B C\" D E F \xa0 \u1234" from a text file, how can I convert (unescape?) this string so that \n, \t, \", \x, and \u get converted to a newline, tab, double quote, hex encoded and unicode encoded chars?
I know I can do this explictly via a series of .replace() methods, but certainly there must be a built-in way to do this on a generic basis? Thank you, Malcolm
