As there are a few hundred Python scripts, I don't want to be changing the code. Can Python look for a file based on the PATH variable, or maybe a mount command to point , or some sort of remapping involved ?

C;/ equates to ??

I generally use pathlib for creating paths. System doesn't matter then.

from pathlib import Path

# will be path of the executing script
path = Path(__file__).parent

Great example of why you should never use absolute paths. You could make a windows virtual machine to run windows on your Linux machine. How about using a script to process the files, changing c:gui to some other folder.

Thanks yes, a hard coded pathname is not a good idea.

Yes, certainly a script will be easier, .. modify on mass. Something like "How to replace a string in multiple files in linux command line" at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1139...e#11392505
