Hi Barry, I am not very sure but Big5 encoding may contain \ (backslash) in some of the double byte characters. In Japanese encoding, Shift_JIS has such an encoding scheme; while the first byte of Shift_JIS is 8th bit set, the following second byte may contain 7 or 8 bit code. There is a patch/module for Python to distiguish the second byte '\' in Japanese but I don't know if such is there for Chinese. -- tkikuchi@ is.kochi-u.ac.jp http://weather.is.kochi-u.ac.jp/
