Strings

[maximilianscherr]

Thanks to both of you,

i was a bit anoyed about the double backslash, then i had another 
idea:

dir = "C:/Files/Games/Pygame"
dir = dir.replace("/", "\/")<- not important what the second char. is!
dir = dir.replace("/", "")
print dir

output: C:\Files\Games\Pygame :)

if there another shorter way of just printing one backslash, tell me 
please.

Thanks again.
