Reading \n unescaped from a file

2015-09-02 Thread Rob Hills
y '\r' character is "escaped" to '\\r' and the '\\n' to 'n' when they are read in from the file. I've been googling hard and reading the Python docs, trying to get my head around character encoding, but I just can't figure out how to get these bits of code to do what I want. It seems to me that I need to either: * change the way I represent '\r' and '\\n' in my mapping file; or * transform them somehow when I read them in However, I haven't figured out how to do either of these.
