The problem I am having is with hidden/invisible character. In the fortran
code, there are line indents which are denoted with an invisible character
^I. When I write with python, there is no ^I at the beginning of the line
^I is a tab character, which you can include in Python strings using \t
and the fortran code no longer compiles. I know how to put in the invisible
line return character (\n), but how can I put in other invisible characters?
In byte strings:
\a ASCII BEL
\b ASCII BACKSPACE
\0 ASCII NULL
\n linefeed
\v vertical tab
\t horizontal tab
\r carriage return
\f formfeed
\xDD character with hexadecimal value DD
\XDD same as above
\0DD character with octal value DD
In Unicode strings, all of the above, plus:
\uDDDD unicode character with hex value DDDD (four bytes)
\UDDDDDDDD
unicode character with hex value DDDDDDDD (eight bytes)
\N{NAME}
unicode character named NAME
Note that in Python 3, octal escape sequences no longer use \0
(backslash-zero), but \o (backslash-o).
See http://docs.python.org/reference/lexical_analysis.html#strings for
more details.
