I am reading from a file the path for some jpg files and the format is:
...
prc103CV137201891421103137435939720180914210353_F01.jpg
prc103CV137201891421103137435940120180914210820_F01.jpg
prc103CV137201891421103137435946020180914215915_F01.jpg
...
I want to change some characteristics of this path but when I try to manipulate the string I have no success because it changed to this:
'prc103\CV137x818x009x0cx11C137435939720180914210353_F01.jpg'
How to have the original clean ascii string ?
python python-3.x ascii python-3.7

From the documentation on "Lexical analysis":
The backslash () character is used to escape characters that otherwise have a special meaning, such as newline, backslash itself, or the quote character.
You can find more examples of such "escape sequences" in the documentation or see for yourself by opening a Python shell (i.e. typing in 2018, which will return x818, as in your example).
Is the file you're reading accessible to you? Try to find and replace the backslashes in your text file with forward slashes.
