Re: OK what does ` mean - seriously seems to be not documented.

I guess knowing that `...` was a raw string would have made my question superfluous.
However reading the manual doesn't give me what I want exactly.
My question is what are raw strings used for, what limitations are placed on the etc. I am asking this as I want to know whether they need to be accounted for when reading and writing from a file.
The wikipedia entry says they are a literal string format (which seems to imply that they fully the equivalent of quoted strings). It certainly would seem odd to write raw strings to file on Windows as the carriage returns normally present would appear to be missing.
