I'm working with a Python program to insert / update textual data into a PostgreSQL database. The text has single and double quotes in it, and I wonder: What is the easiest way to escape quotes in Python, similar to the Perlism "$str =~ s/()/\\$1/g;"? I tried the re.escape() method, but it escapes far too much, including spaces and accented characters. I only want to escape single and double quotes, everything else should be acceptable...

I have an Access 2000 database with a form that is giving me some major headaches. When you open the form, it displays all records and allows editing, but has AllowAdditions set to False so that the user has to use my New Record button. When you click the New Record button, the form presents a new record for editing. My client wants to use the Escape key to cancel changes to new or existing records. On existing records, Access already...

Hi, 'C' says \ is the escape character to be used when characters are to be interpreted in an uncommon sense, e.g. \t usage in printf(), but for printing % through printf(), i have read that %% should be used. Wouldn't it have been better (from design perspective) if the same escape character had been used in this case too. Forgive me for posting without verfying things with any standard compiler, i don't have the means for now.

I'd like to know the answer to the following question so I can know what to expect with regard to other similar uses of escape characters and strings. While everything works fine - I'd like to know specifically why: I am building a simple HTML table in my C# code-behind by concatenating strings that contain different parts of the table and table content... something like this: string myTable = "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\"...

I am having a problem with the "escape" character \e. This code is in my Windows form KeyPress event. The compiler gives me "unrecognized escape sequence" even though this is documented in MSDN. Any idea if this is a bug? if (e.KeyChar == '\e') { this.Close(); }

The "escape" function in the "cgi" module escapes characters with special meanings in HTML. The ones that need escaping are '<', '&' and '"'. However, cgi.escape only escapes the quote character if you pass a second argument of True (the default is False): 'the "quick" &amp; &lt;brown&gt; fox' 'the &quot;quick&quot; &amp; &lt;brown&gt; fox' This seems to me to be dumb. The default option should be the safe one: that is, escape _all_ the potentially troublesome...

The printf function returns "warning: unknown escape sequence: \040" for a backslash-space combination. If the ascii decimal number for space is 32 and the backslash is 92, why this particular number 040? Is it a decimal number from the ASCII code chart? (compiling using gcc on SunOS 5.8, Sparc, Ultra-80) Just curious. Thanks.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
