I need to send the following commands to a busybox device via a serial port:
SBC1000 > setenv serverip '192.168.128.100'
SBC1000 > setenv fsfile '1kroot.jffs2-128k'
SBC1000 > saveenv
I can escape the single quotes of the first line without a problem using a backslash:
cmd = 'setenv serverip '192.168.128.100''
I've tried various combinations of backslashes for the second line, but couldn't get the 1kroot part to escape properly. I believe it is being interpreted as a return. I tried double and triple escape with no success.
I finally stumbled upon using
cmd = 'setenv fsfile '1k\u0072oot.jffs2-128k''
to include the r ( not a return ) for my string.
Is there a more readable way to include this r ( not a return ) pattern in my string?

Did you trycmd = "setenv fsfile '1k\root.jffs2-128k'"? Or use a raw string:cmd = r"setenv fsfile '1kroot.jffs2-128k'"

The solution was to use double-quotes " " as suggested by John Szakmeister.
I discovered that the command string was being passed to a function inside a private class based on pexpect-serial.
My guess is that my string was being evaluated by pexpect in a greedy way. By using a distinct delimiter, the problem was overcome.
