Your question is unclear. In the future, please use a more appropriate title. See posting guidelines.

If you assign a folder/subfolder name to an identifier, you can can use that in a path with string formatting. Example:

>>> name = "my_folder/my_subfolder"
>>> path = "C:/root_folder/%s/" % (name)
>>> path
'C:/root_folder/my_folder/my_subfolder/'
>>>
