what is wrong with that r"\"

[i3dmaster]

Then you can use other chars as the delimiter, r at a@b@ or r!a!b!,  
etc... The import thing is so long as the interpreter doesn't get  
confused on the data and the delimiter.  sed also allows for  
arbitrary delimiters too as long as you maintain the integrity of the  
original meaning...
