How can i remove all the "\" in a python string and replace them with "/"?-CodePudding

I wrote a python script that uses an image from the current folder which is in it and i turned it to .exe file so i can run it without clicking on the .py file but if i want to give it to my friends the cwd(current working directory) will not be the same so the string which represents mine won't work there so i did this :

you can't use "\" in python because it's a special character in strings and in my script where i try to replace it with "/" it doesn't work and all the script in that area becomes green as you can see and i don't know what to do.

CodePudding user response：

The solution is simple. Don't do r'\' but rather \\. Here's an example:

s= r'bruh\bruh\bruh' # this
s = 'bruh\\bruh\\bruh' # or this both work
print(s.replace('\\','/'))

CodePudding user response：

As people mentioned you can try with \\. for some reasons it deson't work you can also try.

import os
strs = "somestring\ok"
strs = strs.replace(os.sep,'/')
print(strs)

Gives #

somestring/ok
