One of the most annoying things that I do on a daily basis (on my Windows 10 machine) is finding a path to a file that has some data that I want to bring into my program, right-clicking it, clicking ‘Properties’ and then highlighting/copying the file path that is visible in the window. I then paste …

I just copy the file path into a raw string. It handles the backslash being treated as escape problem. raw"\part1\part2\etc" Same solution as that from @cchderrick

Thanks for your responses, I didn’t even know about raw.
