remove whitespace from directory path

i am trying to get a user input and use that input as part of a directory path. i have tried many way of doing this but cant get rid of the space.

My output looks like this
C:\Fahad\ACC\Output\ test.txt

notice the white space before test.txt. I want it to look like this
C:\Fahad\ACC\Output\test.txt

I have tried the replace method as shown and a couple other methods i found online but the annoying white space wont go away.

any help would be greatly appreciated

re: remove whitespace from directory path

The problem is not the space, but the backslash character (\). It is used to escape special characters such as newlines and tabs. Example:
For a literal backslash, escape it with "\\" or input forward slashes.

re: remove whitespace from directory path

what if i was trying to use the string as a path name. is it even possible to store a pathname as a string. for example if i wanted to assign C:\fahad\test.txt as a string and then call on it.

an overall picture of what i am trying to do is ask the user for a file name at which the user will enter for example "test.txt" . it may not be .txt everytime could be other file names whatever the user enters.

now i want to use what the user entered as part of the pathname and store the entire pathname in one variable.

so if the user enters test.txt as the raw input

the output is coming out as: ('C:\\Fahad\\ACC\\Output\\', 'test.txt')
instead i need it to come out clean as "C:\Fahad\ACC\Output\test.txt"

it looks like whats after the comma is being considered as separate string wheras i want it to be part of the original string.

re: remove whitespace from directory path

The strings must use "\\" or "/" to represent a valid path. Try using os.path.join() or string method join(). Example:
