I'm running Python on terminal
Given a string string = "abcd\n"
I'd like to print it somehow so that the newline characters '\n' in abcd\n would be visible rather than go to the next line
Can I do this without having to modify the string and adding a double slash (\\n)
Use repr
>>> string = "abcd\n"
>>> print(repr(string))
'abcd\n'
If you're in control of the string, you could also use a 'Raw' string type:
>>> string = r"abcd\n"
>>> print(string)
abcd\n
Another suggestion is to do that way:
string = "abcd\n"
print(string.replace("\n","\\n"))
But be aware that the print function actually print to the terminal the "\n", your terminal interpret that as a newline, that's it. So, my solution just change the newline in \ + n
If you want to print exactly \n in python , you should do this: \\n
Example :
b= "\\n"
print(b)
