string remove backslash chars python code example

Example: remove backslash from string python

# if the string is inputed by a user do this

user_input = str(input("Enter a sentence here -- > ")) 
# Let's say we inputed: "Thi\s i\s a sen\ten\ce wi\th bac\kslashes"
user_input = user_input.replace('\\', '') 
# we do double backslash because a singular backslash will cancel out whatever
# Comes after it
print(user_input) 
# result: This is a sentence with backslashes

# But if you give the variable "string" the value of Thi\s i\s a sen\ten\ce wi\th bac\kslashes:
# Thi\s i\s a sen\ten\ce wi\th bac\kslashes 
# And it gets printed as: 
# Thi\s i\s a sen        en\ce wi        h bac\kslashes

# You have to replace replace the "\"'s with "\\" 
# So something like this:
string = 'Thi\\s i\\s a sen\\ten\\ce wi\\th bac\\kslashes'
print(string) 
# The result will be:
# Thi\s i\s a sen\ten\ce wi\th bac\kslashes 

# and there you go, that's how you replace or get rid of
# Backslashes
