Hi!
In every manual and book I read only one way to make a raw string:
r"e:\mm tests\1. exp files\5.MOC-1012.exp".
I don't know how to make a string raw string if it is already
contained in a variable.
s.raw() or something like that ...
Actually, there's no such thing as a "raw string" once it's constructed
and sitting as an object in the runtime environment, or "contained in a
string" as you stated. It's just a string. Raw strings simply refer to
how the string constant value is assembled by the Python interpreter as
the string object is being constructed. In other words, it simply
affects how the source code itself is understood to represent the string
value.
r"e:\mm tests\1. exp files\5.MOC-1012.exp" will create a string object
with the characters "e:\mm tests\1. exp files\5.MOC-1012.exp". But now
that's just a string value. From here on out, those are simply a
collection of those individual character values and won't be interpreted
further.
"e:\mm tests\1. exp files\5.MOC-1012.exp" will create a string object
with the characters "e:\mm tests^A. exp files^E.MOC-1012.exp". But now
that's just a string value with those characters. There's no concept of
"making it a raw string" after that point at all.
Thank you very much
PS. It seems like a very basic question but I can not find the answer
in few books.
