（Python）IOError出现问题：[Errno 2]没有这样的文件或目录：

Question

Ok, so I've been developing this code to open File1 to extract the first column of it and paste it into the first column of File2 . So far I believe my code as it is coded would work, but for some reason, my File1 isn't reading. I keep getting this error:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Data_reader_project_(HARBOR)\\TestFilesForAlan-Aerostat160215\\Aerostat160215\\AtmoSniffer160215\\dyn_0' 

I have checked the paths and they seem to exist, my parent directory also exists.

Here is my code:

 File1= 'C:\Data_reader_project_(HARBOR)\TestFilesForAlan-Aerostat160215\Aerostat160215\AtmoSniffer160215\dyn_0'

 File2 = 'C:\Data_reader_project_(HARBOR)\TestFilesForAlan-Aerostat160215\Aerostat160215\HiSAM1_data_160215_164858'


with open(File1,'r') as file1, open(File2,'w') as file2:
    for line in file1:
       x=line.split()
       file2.write('\n',join((x[0],x[0]))+'\n')

I've made sure that in both of my file paths there isn't anything like I like apples , I know that would make python to not detect my path, so in my file path I have everything like this `I_like_apples'. Nonetheless, other than this potential bug I can't think of anything else.

Any input would help.

try this:

 File1= 'C:\\Data_reader_project_(HARBOR)\\TestFilesForAlan-Aerostat160215\\Aerostat160215\\AtmoSniffer160215\\dyn_0'

 File2 = 'C:\\Data_reader_project_(HARBOR)\\TestFilesForAlan-Aerostat160215\\Aerostat160215\\HiSAM1_data_160215_164858'

or

File1= 'C:/Data_reader_project_(HARBOR)/TestFilesForAlan-Aerostat160215/Aerostat160215/AtmoSniffer160215/dyn_0'

File2 = 'C:/Data_reader_project_(HARBOR)/TestFilesForAlan-Aerostat160215/Aerostat160215/HiSAM1_data_160215_164858'
