Hi Hitesh, \ is an escape character, it can give unexpected results depending on the character following it. Try this >>> print "c:\server\test" then try >>> print "c:\\server\\test" If you need \ in a string, you should use a pair of them for safety, see http://docs.python.org/ref/strings.html and http://pyfaq.infogami.com/windows-index (the comments section) HTH :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
