Only use "r+" if you need to also write to the file. "r" is still good for opening for reading. Without seeing a traceback, I can only assume the error is caused by using a backslash in the path without escaping it. Try either the following: file_open=open("D:\\file","r+") file_open=open(r"D:\file","r+") For an explanation, see the Python documentation: http://docs.python.org/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-literals -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
