Issue in accepting raw strings from Xml in python

[Gaurav Gupta]

Hi,

I am expecting a directory name from an XML, that is like, '\0310_0\FIN_013\fin_gadm\Access\Adb.mdb'.. I am extracting the value as <node>.firstChild.nodeValue. The issue is that in the directory name the backslash is not getting interpreted as literal string. I know that form the prompt it is possible through r'<string>'.. but is it possible to achieve the same through programmatically,

I would be highly obliged for any help.

Thanks,
Gaurav Gupta
