FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/content/gdrive/MyDrive/data files\\URL_ID_1.txt'

Question

# Folder Path
path = "/content/gdrive/MyDrive/data files"
  
# Change the directory
os.chdir(path)
  
# Read text File
def read_text_file(file_path):
    with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
        info=f.read()
        stop_words(info)
  
  
# iterate through all file
    for file in os.listdir():
        # Check whether file is in text format or not
        if file.endswith(".txt"):
            file_path = f"{path}\{file}"
      
            # call read text file function
            read_text_file(file_path)

I get this error:

    FileNotFoundError                         Traceback (most recent call last)

Answer 1

This might be happening due to linux, windows inconsistency, you should add your file path as

file_path = os.path.join(path,file)
