Now, I can not understand the problem here ...
Repesat to yourself 1e4 tmes: "I shall not put windows file names in quotes w/o using 'r' (as in raw files). Either always use forward slashes, or get used to typing: title = r'C:\Thesis\refined_title.txt' In your case, '\r' is a return (a single character), not two characters long. I think its sad that 'C:\Thesis' doesn't cause an error because there is no such character as '\T', but I am probably excessively pedantic. --Scott David Daniels scott.dani...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
