German umlaut in a string.

[Lukas Kasprowicz]

Hi Leszek,

When I create a string with

        <variable>="String"

It works!

But I have a string that was converted from a tuple to a string.
In this case it doesen?t work.
I can substitute everything from the String that was converted from a tuple
except the german umlaut. I take the tuple from a database and i get all
the umlaut from there as "\\x<HEX-CODE-ASCI>"
Changing is NOT possible with "re.sub"

This was my fault...

in the variable "test" i have written in the first tread there is only one
backslash!!!!!!!!!!
