Question

Which statements prevent the escape sequence interpretation?
col1\tcol2\tcol3\t
escape'col\tcol2\tcol3\t'
subtext'col\tcol2\tcol3\t'
r'col\tcol2\tcol3\t'

Answer 1

The correct option is col1\tcol2\tcol3\t

Explanation:

• This is a Python script that accepts file paths as strings, works on them and then passed to sub process.

• Open() for execution. This script is used for Unix and Windows file paths and almost run on both systems.

• If we give a Windows path that accidentally contains an escape character, Python will translate the embedded \b as backspace.  

• There's no process to indicate a string variable as a raw string.  

• The 'r' modifier works for string constants only.

• The string is:

• winpath = "C:\Users\Administrator\bin" winpath = winpath.replace('\b','\\b') winpathlist = winpath.split('\\')

• By adding additional calls to winpath.replace() to handle the other escapes we get -- \a, \f, \n, \r, \t, \v -- but not \x.
