Hello, I have this string called test with the contents of 'het is een wonder \\TIS'
Now I want to get rid of the \\ so I do this : test2 = test.replace ('\\', '') And I get at the python prompt this answer : 'het is een wonder TIS' So that's right. Now I try the same in a IDE with this programm : woorden =[] letter_counts = {} file = open ('alice_in_wonderland.txt', 'r') for line in file: line2 = line.replace ("\\","") line3 = line2.lower() woorden = line3.split() for letter in woorden: letter_counts[letter] = letter_counts.get (letter, 0) + 1 letter_items = letter_counts.items() letter_items.sort() print letter_items But now Im gettting this output : [('"\'tis', 1), Why does the \ stays here. It should have gone as the test in the python prompt says.
