Pass literal string from NI TestStand to Python

[DaHugen]

Is there a way to pass a literal string to a Python function in a way, that Python treats it as a r"" string?

I'm using a function that looks more or less like this:

def changeFileContent(fullPathToFile):
# Do something with file
# Return boolean if function is done

I've tried to pass the file path in TestStand as @"\my\path\to\file.txt" and the backslashes are interpreted as symbols. Is there a way to fix this?

Kind regards.

I navigate this scenario by creating a local/file global variable of type string, using it like a constant. When entering the value into a String variable, the escape characters aren't a problem.
