Wow, that is fast. Thanks.

I meant, I used a GUI-Tkinter Script to retrieve the input(the
directory). my program is supposed to
1. get the directory from the GUI Script,
with my_path= FieldValue.insert(n, variable.get())
2. open a text file
3. and edit a filepath in the file,
4 then saving as another new file...
if that is the case, how should I do, in order to get the input in the
correct format??
