When reading a file into a list that contains windows file paths like this:
c:\documents and settings\brad\desktop\added_software\asus\a.txt I get a list that contains paths that look like this: c:\\documents and settings\\brad\\desktop\\added_software\\asus\\a.txt So, my list contains those funky file paths. And, when I do this: for root, dirs, files in os.walk('C:\\'): for f in files: print os.path.join(root,f) I get the more normal path again: c:\documents and settings\brad\desktop\added_software\asus\a.txt This makes path comparison difficult as I have different strings (the extra \'s). I've tried os.path.normpath(line_reading_in_from_file) but I still get the funky \\ paths. How can I read the paths with an r'path' like meaning?
