Hi
I am writing on an application, that is supposed to read a file into a
single string:
My program though, when I run it, gives me an error, that the called
file is non existent
'C:\ \Documents and Settings\ \Fred\ \My Documents\ \School\ \Bio'
Is it normal that python adds the space and extra backslash? Because
if I print the path of the called file before the open command, it
normally prints it with only one backslash.
Is there any possiblity of surpressing this?
I am using Python 2.3.5 with Pywin built 163 on Windows.
Thanks for all help 2 2453
Hello Fred,
Backslashes are used as an escape and not just in Python ( consider
'\r\n' )
To use a backslash you must escape it with two of them like this: \\
'c:\\windows\\d ir'
or you can use a raw string:
r"c:\windows\di r"
or you can use forward slashes. Yes that works ;)
"c:/windows/dir"
Windows uses '\' as a path sep but it also understands '/'.
*nix uses '/' as a path sep.
hth,
M.E.Farmer

The space between the \ \ is NOT normal. Please post the exact (copy
and past!) text of the trace-back and error message. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi
I have a C application on a Windows PC who shoul delete files on a Sun which
is in the same network. I try this with the 'remove' command, e.g.
remove(\\Sun\Temp\File.jpg). But this doesn't work. The return code from
remove is not 0 and the errno is 22 (invalid argument).
What could be wrong?
I have access to the Sun and have tried this with the directory mounted or

I have what seems to be such a simple thing yet I cannot figure out how
to do it.
I am using a streamwriter to build a text file. At the end of the
process I want to open that same text file in notepad so the user can
see what was built.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the text file to open
up in notepad on the screen. All the processes I have tried opens the
file into the filestream again.

Although I have called this article “How to Parse a File in C++”, we are actually mostly lexing a file which is the breaking down of a stream in to its component parts, disregarding the syntax that stream contains. Parsing is actually including the syntax in order to make...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
