I want xmltodict.parse(XML)to return "XELTA\LMOR\CCS\CIP\CIP_3_2". Instead xmltodict to converts XML content to dictionary returns strings with double backslashes. XML_Input ="XELTA\LMOR\CCS\CIP\CIP_3_2" returns = xmltodict.parse(XML_Input) Returns = {"XELTA\LMOR\CCS\CIP\CIP_3_2"}.

Any suggestions?

Returning with double slash "XELTA|\LMOR\\CCS\\CIP\\CIP_3_2" – Girish V Apr 11 '22 at 11:49
Those double backslashes are just the Python representation of a single backslashes. Try printing the string to see its actual contents. – martineau Apr 11 '22 at 12:30
Yes printing looks fine, when i add this to MongoDB I see that same behavior – Girish V Apr 12 '22 at 11:19
My point was that the extras really aren't in the string so it should work fine. – martineau Apr 12 '22 at 11:24
