title: Python Find Forward Slash in a String
body: <p>I am a beginner to Python so bear with me.
  Basically I am searching a particular table cell for the forward slash character.  If the cell contains that character, I want to delete the entire row.</p>
  
  <pre><code>counter = 0
  for row in table:
      if row[7].find("/") != -1:
          del table[counter]
          continue
      counter+=1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The code above never detects the forward slash but finds any other character I substitute for forward slash.  Any help would be much appreciated.</p>
