Newbie question: I'm trying to lauch Notepad from Python to open a textfile:
import os b1="c:\test.txt" os.system('notepad.exe ' + b1) However, the t of test is escaped by the \, resulting in Notepad trying to open "c: est.txt". How do I solve this? (By the way, b1 comes from a command line parameter, so the user enters c:\test.txt as command line parameter.) George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
