i'm new to python, i wrote script that query from db, and getting path looking like this:

...\\dev$\\AUTOMATION\\Logs\14-01-16_15-50-57_143

when i print the result i see that:

the \14 
change to hexa-  x0c

i want to access this link, in order to do so i need to add \ so the link will look like this:

...\\dev$\\AUTOMATION\\Logs\\14-01-16_15-50-57_143

I tried to os.path.dirname re.find split and didnt get what i needed. please i tried so many suggestions i saw in xda and non helped me.

Thanks,

Thanks for the response. I know the escape , like: r'MyString', or \ when there is \ The problem is that i get the path from DB and in the DB the path i receive is like this .. \AUTOMATION\Logs\15-01-16_15-50-57_143

and python load it immediately to x0c

I hope the problem sounds more clear..

Thnaks

When you print a string, you need to escape the backslashes with another backslash. \14 is getting read as a hex value, but \\14 will be printed correctly.
