I need to compare paths. In a textile, I get paths like:
'C:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\\\kernel32.dll'
The other path I get from the command line.
To compare the two strings I tried:
while path.find('\\') != -1:
path.replace('\\\\','\\', 1)
but this changes nothing.
Also the builtin functions os.path.normpath() and os.path.realpath() don't remove the backslashes.
How to remove the backslashes from the string?
Try:
path = path.replace('\\\\','\\', 1)
In C# you need to assign the return value from replace. Something like that:
path = path.replace('\\\\','\\', 1)
but I think you are using Java and I don't know if is the same, but try it
while ... : is obviously python.This returns a single backslash and can be compared to output from os.getcwd()
path = path.replace('\\\\', '\\')
to replace 2 \ by one \ , you can do like that:
value = "C:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\\\kernel32.dll"
print value.replace("\\\\", "\\")
gives me:
C:\Windows\System32\kernel32.dll
