Good afternoon I have a string that is a windows path c: \ user \ x but I want to delete the lines or change them "\" however it marks me an error when trying to do it this is my code:
string = "C:\User\New\Desktop"
s_replace = string.replace("\"," ")
but I did not work
If you want to delete them use s_replace = string.replace("\","")
I found the solution:
import os
print('\')
for r, d, f in os.walk("C:\"):
for files in f:
if files == "WINWORD.EXE":
print(os.path.join(r,files))
r = os.path.join(r,files)
res = r.replace('\','\\') #escapando \ 2 veces obtengo el resultado deseaso
print(res)
break
** Result: **
\

What I'm saying is that to eliminate the character, you must put the quotes without a space, that is: s_replace = string.replace("\", "") and not s_replace = string.replace("\", " ") , since when you put a space between the quotes you are trying to change "\" " " , the other thing I suggest you do before removing the character is that you do this: string = str(string) if the format you have is None
