Windows “copy as path” to open a file in python

Question

I am having a very simple problemm I guess. I am trying to open a file in Python pasting windows "copy as path" option

When I paste into Python console I get

"F:\AVALIACAO-PC-08-04\Liberacao-antes-tubo-reto\analise\2014-12-16_15-23-25.mag"

in order to open the file I need to have this

fname='F:\\AVALIACAO-PC-08-04\\Liberacao-antes-tubo-reto\\nnalise\\2014-12-16_15-23-25.mag'

How can I manage to remove " and add \\ ?

I did managed to remove the " with fname.replace but failed with the \\

Answer 1

Basically you can just paste it as a raw string, that is

fname = r"F:\AVALIACAO-PC-08-04\Liberacao-antes-tubo-reto\analise\2014-12-16_15-23-25.mag"

Change ' to " doesn't really matter as Python accepts both variants.

But if you really want to change " to ' then you can do

fname = fname.replace('"',"'")
