I need to change directory to my local working directory in windows and then
open a file for processing.
Its just a 3 lines code, as below:
import csv
import os
os.chdir('D:\Projects\Initiatives\machine learning\programs\assertion')
The error is as follows:
WindowsError: [Error 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax
is incorrect: 'D:\Projects\Initiatives\machine learning\programs\x07ssertion'
Notice x07 character that has replaced character x07.
I have a similar code but that goes through fine:
import csv
import os
os.chdir('D:\Projects\Initiatives\machine learning\programs')
Use forward slashes instead of backslashes for all paths.
os.chdir('D:/Projects/Initiatives/machine learning/programs')
Only use forward slashes for legacy DOS paths passed to Windows API
functions. Do not use forward slashes for paths in command line
arguments, \\?\ prefixed paths, or registry paths.
To the best of my memeory, forward slashes work in arguments.
They do not work in paths to an executable.
F:\>cd dev/3x works
f:\dev\3x> ../pull prints
'..' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
because /pull is seen as an option switch. ..\pull does (because
..\pull.bat exists).
