When I get file path from DirDialog, I get in a (path) variable. Sometimes that string (path) contains special escape sequences, such as \x, \r and so on.'C:\Python25\Programs\rating' When I try to open that file (whose name contains escape sequences) it doesn't work.
That sounds like a bug in DirDialog since I would expect it to return a properly constructed, platform specific path! Are you sure it doesn't?
What is the len() of the string? The above should return 27 not 24...
I know that raw string marker 'r' in front of string leaves char '\' as character and not as start of escape sequences, but I can not apply it to a variable name which contains file path.
You can only apply it to literal strings not variables , regardless of what the variable points to.
Is there a function with same effect as raw string marker, as my problem must be solved differently?
You might get some help from the os.path library functions. But to be honest I can't see anything obvious... You might have to resort to character by character replacement...
