Hello,
I am getting the following -
>>> String = """<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com";>Ray's Links</a>"""
>>> String
'<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com";>Ray\'s Links</a>'
Note the magically appearing back slash in my result string. Now I tiry
to escape the single quote.
>>> String = """<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com";>Ray\'s Links</a>"""
>>> String
'<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com";>Ray\'s Links</a>'
Once again the unwanted back slash appears.
>>> NewString = """'"""
>>> NewString
"'"
Hmmm, no back slash this time...
>>> String = """<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com";>Ray""" + """'""" +
"""s Links</a>"""
>>> String
'<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com";>Ray\'s Links</a>'
Why did quoting the single quote work in NewString when I triple quoted
just the single quote, but not in the other examples where the result
shows a back slash before my singe quote in String?
Is there a proper way to do this?
Thanks, Ray Parrish
