Replace \ with / With an Inputted Directory in Python -
i trying replace inputted paths' "\" "/" avoid escaping character messes code.
path = input("enter directory: ) path.replace('\' , '/') first off reason want because when user inputs path (copying , pasting windows explorer), in c:\user\folder convention giving me issues later on in program when have output real path , gives me c:\user\folder double "\" because of raw string method.
my path.replace() not working because '\' thinking escaping character. tried:
path.replace((r'\'), '/') but entire input turns string , not work. have advice this, or way inputted path copied have / instead of \? thanks!
replace returns copy of string, you'll need assign result variable
path = input("enter directory: ") path = path.replace('\\' , '/')
