Pass MATLAB Backslash Control Character
This example shows how to pass the backslash control character (\) as a Python® str type.
Insert the new line control character \n by calling the MATLAB® sprintf function. Python replaces \n with a new line.
py.str(sprintf('The rain\nin Spain.'))
ans =
Python str with no properties.
The rain
in Spain.
Without the sprintf function, both MATLAB and Python interpret \ as a literal backslash.
py.str('The rain\nin Spain.')
ans =
Python str with no properties.
The rain\nin Spain.
Pass this string to a Python string method split. Python treats the MATLAB character vector as a raw string and adds a \ character to preserve the original backslash.
split(py.str('The rain\nin Spain.'))
ans =
Python list with no properties.
['The', 'rain\\nin', 'Spain.']
