Hi!

When I get file path from DirDialog, I get in a (path) variable.
Sometimes that string (path) contains special escape sequences, such as \x, \r and so on.

             'C:\Python25\Programs\rating'

When I try to open that file (whose name contains escape sequences) it doesn't work.

"It doesn't work" is too vague. Please show us a code snippet that includes obtaining the file path, attempt to open and what happens. Do you get a traceback (error message)? If so, please post it with the code.

Please also reply-all so a copy goes to the list.


I know that raw string marker 'r' in front of string leaves char '\' as character and not as start of escape sequences,
but I can not apply it to a variable name which contains file path.

Is there a function with same effect as raw string marker, as my problem must be solved differently?

Can you help me?

Kind regards,

Neven
