Not able to open local txt file in online python compiler

Question

I have the problem while openning file in https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/online-compiler/ IDE The code is below

f=open("E:\\note/p.txt",'r')
print(f.read())

but getting the error Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'E:\\note/p.txt'

Please help me to solve this problem Thanks

Answer 1

You have a newline character in your filename. Try this:

f = open(r'E:\note\p.txt')

By using a raw string, the 'n' is not escaped and therefore the backslash (Windows directory separator) is used literally.

Note that 'r' mode is default and therefore not required
