hi i am using python on WinXP..i have a string 'folder ' that i want to join to a set of imagefile names to create complete qualified names so that i can create objects out of them
folder='F:/brown/code/python/fgrp1' filenms=['amber1.jpg', 'amber3.jpg', 'amy1.jpg', 'amy2.jpg'] filenameslist=[] for x in filenms: myfile=join(folder,x) filenameslist.append(myfile) now when i print the filenameslist i find that it looks like ['F:/brown/code/python/fgrp1\\amber1.jpg', 'F:/brown/code/python/fgrp1\\amber3.jpg', 'F:/brown/code/python/fgrp1\ \amy1.jpg', 'F:/brown/code/python/fgrp1\\amy2.jpg'] is there some problem with the way i use join? why do i get \\ infront of the basename? i would prefer it like 'F:/brown/code/python/fgrp1/basename.jpg', can anyone pls help gordon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
