Unexpected carriage return

[vizmaster]

When adding a texture from a file any \r in the filename is seen as a carriage return.
C:\Tester\retest is seen as C:\Tester\
etest
To get around this I either add a different character to the before the "r" or an additional \. Is this suppose to be how it works?

You can also use the following to allow backslashes in strings:

path = r'C:\Tester\retest'

Placing an r before the string tells python not to translate backslash expressions.

Forgot to mention, you can also use forward slashes.

Thanks,
I will give the suggestions a try. I forget the I am dealing with an interpretive language.
