Hello all,
I am having a bit of trouble with a string mismatch operation in my tool I am
writing.
I am comparing a database collection or url quoted paths to the paths on the
users drive.
These 2 paths look identical, one from the drive & the other from an xml url:
a = '/Users/macbookpro/Music/tracks_new/_NS_2018/J.Staaf - ¡Móchate!
_PromoMix_.wav'
b = '/Users/macbookpro/Music/tracks_new/_NS_2018/J.Staaf - ¡Móchate!
_PromoMix_.wav'
But after realising it was failing on them I ran a difflib and these
differences popped up.
import difflib
print('\n'.join(difflib.ndiff([a], [b])))
- /Users/macbookpro/Music/tracks_new/_NS_2018/J.Staaf - ¡Móchate!
_PromoMix_.wav
?
^^
+ /Users/macbookpro/Music/tracks_new/_NS_2018/J.Staaf - ¡Móchate! _PromoMix_.wav
?
^
What am I missing when it comes to unquoting the string, or should I do some
other fancy operation on the drive string?
Cheers,
Ben
