I am having a problem when substituting a raw string. When I do the
following:
re.sub('abc', r'a\nb\nc', '123abcdefg')
I get
"""
123a
b
cdefg
"""
what I want is
r'123a\nb\ncdefg'
From http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.sub
re.sub(pattern, repl, string[, count])
...repl can be a string or a function; if
it is a string, any backslash escapes in
it are processed. That is, \n is converted
to a single newline character, \r is
converted to a linefeed, and so forth.
So you'll have to double your backslashes:
py> re.sub('abc', r'a\\nb\\nc', '123abcdefg')
'123a\\nb\\ncdefg'
