str.replace() when str contains \

[Bernard LEDRU]

Hello,

https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods

str.replace(old, new[, count])¶
Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring old 
replaced by new. If the optional argument count is given, only the first 
count occurrences are replaced.

Attention when the string contains the escape character.

Consider :

>>> a="H:\2023"; print(a.replace("\\","/"))
H:3
>>> a="H:\a2023"; print(a.replace("\\","/"))
H:2023
>>> a="H:\_2023"; print(a.replace("\\","/"))
H:/_2023

Best regards,
