It's not escape sequences that are the problem but question marks, I suspect. Most likely this file name contains characters not in your locale's language. To access this file name you need to use unicode, just make sure the first parameter of os.walk is a unicode string, for example: os.walk(u'c:\\temp'). The exact code how to make the first parameter unicode depends on where it is coming from (network, config file, registry, etc...) Reading unicode tutorial is highly recommended. -- Leo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
