How to split with \ character, and licence copyleft mirror of ©

2013-09-01 Thread materile11 
Hello everybody
I'm trying to run this: 

code
 a = 'E:\Dropbox\jjfsdjjsdklfj\sdfjksdfkjslkj\flute.wav'
 a.split('\')

SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
/code

I think that the character '\' is the problem, but unfortunately I'm developing 
a small app for windows and I need to show only the name of the .wav file, in 
this case 'flute.wav'.

I also want to know how to mirror a character, in my case this one ©, because 
I'll use the Copyleft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft to distribute my 
app.

Thanks.

 To directly answer your question, you need to escape the \ so it's
 
 
 
   a.split('\\')
 
 
 
 That said, it's far better to use Python's built-ins to do the
 
 processing for you:
 
 
 
import os
 
print os.path.basename(a)
 
   flute.wav
 
 
 
 which does what you want *and* works cross-platform:
 
 
 
   [on Linux]
 
a = '/home/tkc/path/to/flute.wav'
 
print os.path.basename(a)
 
   flute.wav
 
 
 
  I also want to know how to mirror a character, in my case this one
 
  ©, because I'll use the Copyleft
 
 
 
 This can't be done in much of a general way:  Unicode doesn't specify
 
 this character, and the URL you provided suggests combining two
 
 Unicode characters to get ↄ⃝  Unfortunately, (1) it requires a
 
 display that knows how to produce that, which many terminals can't;
 
 and (2) it's purely visual, not semantic.  If that's what you really
 
 want, you should be able to use:
 
 
 
   copyleft_symbol = u\u2184\u20DD
 
 
 
 Just be aware that it may not always display the way you expect it to.
 
 
 
 -tkc


Thank you, I've used the os.path.basename to solve my problem.
Regards.
