How do I split a string with forward slashes in from the forward slashes substring using split() of-CodePudding

I have a string which looks similar to 123456 \\RE1NUM=987 and I have been trying to split it \\RE1NUM=.

I have tried .split("\\RE1NUM=") and it gives ['123456 \\', '987']. I believe forward slashes are being interpreted as escape characters. The final list I need will be ['123456 ', '987'].

Can you try to use a different editor? cause I have tried to use the python shell in my terminal and it did indeed give me the desired output as follows

string = "123456 \RE1NUM=987" result = string.split("\\RE1NUM=") print(result)
