opening a file from a windows desktop folder- error opening file - Charan007 - Dec-06-2018
Hi Team,
I am trying to open a file that is available in the desktop folder with the below command but getting an error
that file is not present.
I don't have access to place the input file in the python folder to open the file.
code:
a=r'C:\Users\Charan\Desktop\Python\sample.txt' b=open(a,'r')error:
Error:FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Charan\\Desktop\\Python\\sample.txt'RE: opening a file from a windows desktop folder- error opening file - buran - Dec-06-2018
it looks OK and should work given the file exists. Sorry, but can you confirm one more time that file with that name exists at the this location?
