raw string

I can do the following replacement:

r"kr\xdf6;ger". replace('\\','& #')
-> 'kr෶ger'

But how can I do this using a variable which contains the above string?
Obviously, the following code returns not the string with replacement
but the name of the variable itself:

name = "kr\xdf6;ge r"
r"name".replace ('\\','&#')
-> 'r"name"

Sorry, if this is a stupid question but I have not found an answer so
far (or I have been using the wrong keywords for searching).

Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Marc

name = r"kr\xdf6;ge r"
name.replace('\ \', '&#')

If you say name = "kr\xdf6;ge r" without the r prefix, the \x has already
been replaced with a single character, and there is no slash in the
string, so it is too late to try to replace a slash with something else.

name = r"kr\xdf6;ge r" (the r goes here)
name.replace('\ \','&#') (the name of the object must not be in quotes)

My sites navigation is like this: http://www.newsbackup.com/index.php?n=000000000040900000 , depending on the variable "n" (which is always a number), it will take me anywhere on the site... this number is always changing as I have hundreds of thousand of pages of text on my site.

Hello, Could someone explain to me why the Standard conveners chose to typedef std::string rather than derive it from std::basic_string<char, ...>? The result of course is that it is effectively impossible to forward declare std::string. (Yes I am aware that some libraries have a string_fwd.h header, but this is not portable.) That said, is there any real reason why I can't derive an otherwise empty
