Sure. Why wouldn't it be?

Hitesh, You might want to try this:
>>> tricky_path_name = '\\serverName\\C:\\exe files\\example.exe -u ABC -g DEF'
>>> import SE
>>> Editor = SE.SE ('C:=C$: "exe -=exe"')
>>> edited_path_name = Editor (tricky_path_name)
>>> print edited_path_name# See what it did
\serverName\C$:\exe fil
There was a typo. I corrected it.

How about this:
def TruncateString(s, Tindex):
return string.ljust(s,Tindex){:Tindex]
s = '\\serverName\\C:\\Folder Name1\\FolderName2\\example.exe -u ABC -g
XYZ'
try:
Sindex = s.find(".exe")
if Sindex > 0:
Sindex = Tindex + 4
s1 = TruncateString(s, Sindex)
except:
I post a crappy solution but I can add few more stuff to make it fail
proof.
i.e. I can search for ".exe -u"
But if someone names folder like "folder.exe u". This script could
fail.
Or if in padded garbase I get ".exe u"
These are two known issues I have to takcle.
Thanks everyone for your help.

That will fail if any directory names contain the string
".exe", but if that's what you want, it's trivial enough:
for s in ["asdfasdf.exe -u", "soemthing/else",
"asdf.exe/qwerqwer/qwerqwer.
Here is a mediocare solution.
def TruncateString(s, Tindex):
return string.ljust(s,Tindex){:Tindex]
s = '\\serverName\\C:\\Folder Name1\\FolderName2\\example.exe -u ABC -g
XYZ'
Sindex = s.find(".exe")
Sindex = Tindex +4
s1 = TruncateString(s, Sindex)

You must come up with a rigorous specification for what is and
i
>>> s = '\\serverName\C:\Folder Name1\FolderName2\example.exe -u ABC -g XYZ'
>>> p = s.split(" ", 1)[0]
>>> p
'\\serverName\\C:\\Folder'

That might work but what if I get (in future) a path name where
foldername (and in windows it is very common, someone might name a
folder something like "Screw You") with space?

Sounds like you can split the string on a space and throw
away the right side:
s='\\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example.exe' -u ABC -g XYZ
p=s.split(" ", 1)[0]
print p
'\\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example.exe'

Hi,
Everything is working fine and dandy but I ran across another issue
here.
Some of the path comes with some extra chars padded at the end.
i.e.
'\\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example.exe' -u ABC -g XYZ
abcdef
Now those padded chars are not constant all the time. It can be
anythin

Hi Hitesh,
\ is an escape character, it can give unexpected results depending
on t
Thank you all it worked!.
Tim,
> modRows = ['\\'+itm[0].replace(":", "$") for itm in rows]
What are those two forward slashes for?
I had to remove them otherwise I was getting output like '\\'
inside list or if I print I was getting like \\\
Thanks,

Thank you Fredrik. That works for a string.
But I am getting list of tuples from DB.
rows = [('\\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example.exe',),
('\\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example2.exe',),
('\\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example3.exe',),
