Python - Input Of File Path

this code works fine when I put the path of the file myself. but when I want to get it from users raw_input() it doesn't work. what can I do? import string import random print 'en

Solution 1:

From the error message you quoted, it looks like you're adding doublequotes to your user input and escaping the backslashes. Don't do that.

Instead of entering

"c:\\Users \\USER\\Desktop\\bar.txt"

at the prompt, enter:

C:\users\USER\Desktop\bar.txt
