(unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \ - Jack_Sparrow - May-11-2018
HI there,
I have follow problem:
import pandas as pd
subway_df = pd.read_csv('C:\Users\DSule\Desktop\python\nyc.csv') File "<ipython-input-25-80cb9d4c408e>", line 3
subway_df = pd.read_csv('C:\Users\DSule\Desktop\python\nyc.csv')
^
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escapeI tried to solve this problem with three different solutions:- \\
- r
- "nyc.csv"
But nothing works for me...
I know, there are already similiar questions in this forum. But if you take a closer look to this questions, they are not answered
Feel frustraited
I use Python 3
And I installed Jupyter with anaconda

Never use use single backslash (
\) that way in path,because of escape character.\U starts an eight-character Unicode escape in Python 3.Error:>>> s = 'C:\Users\DSule\Desktop\python\nyc.csv'
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you!
I tried all of them. Here are results:
#Input1: import pandas as pd subway_df = pd.read_csv(r'C:\Users\DSule\Desktop\python\nyc.csv') #Output1 NO output/No reaction
#Input2
import pandas as pd
subway_df = pd.read_csv('C:/User/DSule/Desktop/python/nyc.csv')
#Output2
File b'C:/User/DSule/Desktop/python/nyc.csv' does not exist#Input 3
import pandas as pd
subway_df = pd.read_csv('C:\\Users\\DSule\\Desktop\\python\\nyc.csv')
#Output 3
NO output/No reactionAny other ideas?

Check your path Path and file.
Here a little basic about Path and file as i think you struggle with that.
Navigate training in
cmd and check file,this way you now that path is correct.Then open file Pandas.
cmd:Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.431]
(c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. Med enerett.
# Navigate with cd
C:\Windows\System32>cd\
C:\>cd foo1
# look at files in folder
C:\foo1>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is EED7-45CC
Directory of C:\foo1
11.05.2018 12:46 <DIR> .
11.05.2018 12:46 <DIR> ..
13.09.2017 22:03 0 cd1.txt
11.05.2018 12:40 73 my_csv.csv
2 File(s) 73 bytes
2 Dir(s) 66 910 232 576 bytes free
# Open file in folder
C:\foo1>type my_csv.csv
Student,Age,Subject
Adam,13,Maths
Alex,14,English
Shawn,15,Geographycmd Anaconda:G:\Anaconda3>python Python 3.6.5 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)| (default, Mar 29 2018, 13:32:41) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pandas as pd >>> >>> df = pd.read_csv(r'C:\foo1\my_csv.csv') >>> df Student Age Subject 0 Adam 13 Maths 1 Alex 14 English 2 Shawn 15 Geography >>>Then it also work the same in Jupyter NoteBook.

Yes, you're right! there is smth wrong with the path. I'll take a closer look at it.

Hi Jack_Sparrow. i did not see your resolution to this issue. I followed all the steps noted above including r, \\, /
none worked similar to you.
then i used cmd to verify the path and the file. there were no issues as i was able to locate and open the file with cmd.
used that path in Jupyter and still get Syntax Error.
Can you provide any additional assistance or thought on this?
