Python: Using .format() on a Unicode-escaped string

Python: Using .format() on a Unicode-escaped string

In Python, you can use the .format() method on a Unicode-escaped string just like you would with any other string. Unicode-escaped strings are treated like regular strings once they have been decoded. Here's an example:

# Unicode-escaped string unicode_escaped = 'Hello, \\u4F60\\u597D' # Represents "Hello, ���" in Unicode-escaped form # Decoding the Unicode-escaped string to a regular string decoded_string = unicode_escaped.encode('utf-8').decode('unicode_escape') # Using .format() on the decoded string formatted_string = "Welcome, {}!".format(decoded_string) print(formatted_string)

In the above example:

  1. We start with a Unicode-escaped string unicode_escaped, which contains the Unicode escape sequences for the Chinese characters for "���" (meaning "Hello" in Chinese).

  2. We decode the Unicode-escaped string into a regular string using the .encode('utf-8').decode('unicode_escape') method chain. This decodes the escape sequences into their corresponding Unicode characters.

  3. Finally, we use the .format() method on the decoded string to create a formatted string, which results in the output: "Welcome, ���!".

So, you can use .format() or any other string formatting techniques with a Unicode-escaped string once it has been properly decoded into a regular string.
