Hello all, I am writing a python script which has to access deep paths then supported normally by the Windows OS (>255). So I am appending "\ \?\" to do so. But when I use the path in the above fashion with os.chdir() it is unable to recognize my folder and throwing an error:Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\JPDump\test.py", line 31, in <module> renameStubs(file) File "C:\JPDump\test.py", line 15, in renameStubs os.chdir (path) WindowsError: [Error 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: '\\?\\C:\\TestDataSet\ \Many_Files_10000_1KB_FIles\\001_0009_1000 FILES\\' The value of my path variable is \?\C:\TestDataSet\Many_Files_10000_1KB_FIles\001_0009_1000 FILES\
There need to be two backslashes at the beginning: \\?\C:\TEST.....FILES\ Note the double backslash before the question mark. TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
