Unicode Error unicodeescape codec can't decode bytes... Cannot open text files in Python 3
The problem is with the string
"C:\Users\Eric\Desktop\beeline.txt"
Here, \U
in "C:\Users
... starts an eight-character Unicode escape, such as \U00014321
. In your code, the escape is followed by the character 's', which is invalid.
You either need to duplicate all backslashes:
"C:\\Users\\Eric\\Desktop\\beeline.txt"
Or prefix the string with r
(to produce a raw string):
r"C:\Users\Eric\Desktop\beeline.txt"
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 194-195: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape
\
has special meaning in python
strings, so you need escape it by doubling to get literal \
, all \
in all paths should be replaced using \\
, for example
C:\Users\Danny\DiscordExports\log.txt
should be
C:\\Users\\Danny\\DiscordExports\\log.txt
