Given a string named line whose raw version has this value:
\rRAWSTRING
how can I detect if it has the escape character \r? What I've tried is:
if repr(line).startswith('\r'):
blah...
but it doesn't catch it. I also tried find, such as:
if repr(line).find('\r') != -1:
blah
doesn't work either. What am I missing?
thx!
