Hello all,
I am writing an application where I need to open a shared
file on a remote machine using python script. I tried using the
following function:
f = urllib.open("\\remote_machine\\folder1\\file1.doc")
I also tried using
class urllib.FancyURLopener(...)
but didn't work. Can some one help me in this regard.
What do you mean by "remote machine"? Do you mean you want to open a
file that's in a shared folder on a machine that's on the same local
network?
If it's meant to be a Windows filepath then it should be:
f = open(r"\\remote_machine\folder1\file1.doc")
(If the file is a Microsoft Word document file, then you won't probably
be able to make much sense of its contents using open().)
