python : how to cast or convert string in a variable into raw - 


x=''' print '\tone \'piece\' of \"metal\" \\sharp\\ edge ' print '\nthanks' ''' exec(x)

i have string variable (x) , want use exec() print out correctly. if have access variable can directly use r' , problem solved, such :

x=r''' print '\tone \'piece\' of \"metal\" \\sharp\\ edge ' print '\nthanks' ''' exec(x)

but in case , don't have access variable. string variable come other end or other user. how can apply r' existing variable can use exec() .

the correct output should :

    1 'piece' of "metal" \sharp\ edge

the real case :

inside software, can create objects , each object can have properties such text input , button. refer text input , button properties object.text_input , object.button. let have 2 objects named aa , bb , type expression/script in aa.text_input (the text input of object1). bb (object2) want use expression entered in aa.text_input , execute using exec(). in bb.button write code such : exec(aa.text_input). data grab aa string. problem code type in text input of aa may contain character including escape chars , others. when use exec() in bb have error because of chars. question : how bring string bb.text_input correctly aa ?

as far understand, once 'x' declared losing memory of characters typed in, e.g. replaces '\n' newline character.

the way can think of reverting write statement replace characters in x original characters.

for example:

for char in x:     if char == '\n':          #replace '\\n'

edit: 1 way this, example, 

x = x.replace('\\', '\\\\') x = x.replace('\n', '\\n') x = x.replace('\t', '\\t') x = x.replace('\"', '\\\"') x = x.replace('\'', '\\\'')

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
