combining strings with slash seperater

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. str1 = 'c:\documents and settings\user\desktop'
  2. str2 = 'starcraft.exe'
  3. print str1

I would like to know how it would be possible to add str2 to the end of str1 with a "\" inbetween the two strings. so that I end up with "c:\documents and settings\user\desktop\starcraft.exe".

Thanks

Hi!

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. print "\\".join((str1, str2))
or
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. print "%s\\%s" % (str1, str2)
If you want to make this os-independent, have a look at the os module (os.path.join might be your friend )

Regards, mawe

one method i always use is the os.path.join() method.
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. dir = os.path.join("C:\\","documents and settings","user","desktop")
  2. starcraftpath = os.path.join(dir,"starcraft.exe")
takes care of the slashes for you.
