I don't get why yall are being so rude about this. My problem is this; the path, as a variable conflicts with other characters in the path, creating escape characters I don't want, so I need a way to send the string to the os.startfile() in raw, or, with all the backslashes doubled. Thats it, I'll write some code of what it should work like, because I probably should have done that; but you don't have to act like I am retarded... that solves nothing.
