In your code, you should use string literals like my_path = r"C:\Programs\Python\new" my_path = "C:\\Programs\\Python\\new" But you said "a program to retrieve the filepath" - and I understand that you dont have a string literal, and you compute it somehow. Escape characters should not be a problem then. Have you verified the contents of the text file? With notepad? -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
