How to store a single \ in a string variable?

Question

file_name = file_path.split('\')

Gives me an error because \' is to represent a single quote in python.

I want to split a file name using single backslash.

`'\\'` **is** a single backslash -- if you `print('\\')`, you'll see it only prints one backslash, not two. — Charles Duffy, Jan 04 '21 at 18:08

Use a double \:

file_name = file_path.split('\\')
