    File Name Format

    Greetings,

    How do I convert programmaticall y the file names from WIN32 to UNIX format?

    A code snippet would be of great help.
    We are new to python! :)

    Thanks.
    Best regards,
    Anand

      unix_name = win_name.replac e("\\", "/")

      But this of course won't work for anything that starts with a drive letter
      for example.

          You don't need to. AFAIK, all legal WIN32 filenames are legal
          UNIX file names.

          As would an example of what you're trying to do.

              Doesn't this depend more on the file system than the operating system?

                  Sort of. AFAIK, no matter which "Windows" filesystem you pick,
                  the set of allowed filenames are legal for all of the common
                  "Unix" filesystems (EXT3, XFS, Reiser, etc.).

                  However, the OP hasn't offered any details about what it is
                  he's actually wanting to do, so this is all just idle
                  speculation...
