s/slash/antislash/g It's a very well known gotcha due to MS's choice to use the antislash as path separator. In most languages - Python included - the antislash is used for escape sequences (non-printable characters). '\r' is the escape sequence for CR (carriage return). Doubling the antislash prevents escaping. You can avoid all escaping by using raw strings: mypath = r"C:\enhancement\rawfiles\" Also and IIRC, using slash instead should also work, ie: mypath = r"C:/enhancement/rawfiles/" HTH -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
