Actually, this doesn't work. The string you show has two characters,
both of them backslashes. The r prefix means that backslashes aren't
escapes, they're literal backslash characters. Unfortunately, there's a
flaw in the Python lexer which means you can't use a single backslash
here either
I would use a raw string like this"
string.rfind(r'\\')
The raw string makes sure there is no additional escaped special
characters. But you still need to escape the backslash.
Here is a good read on all this:

hello, I'm trying to get the index of the last backslash from a string
in python.
The problem I have is that the backslash before the last quotation
mark, cancels out the quote.
eg: string.rfind("\") will error, because technically the string isn't
closed (as a backslash before a quote escapes i
