Which on a *nix platform is equivalent to:
But don't rely on that on Windows because it will prefer the platform-specific separator. Also:

TheoretiCALTheoretiCAL 18k8 gold badges38 silver badges63 bronze badges 1 Path names are formatted differently in Windows. the solution is simple, suppose you have a path string like this:
simply you have to change it to this: (adding r front of the path)
The modifier r before the string tells Python that this is a raw string. In raw strings, the backslash is interpreted literally, not as an escape character. answered Jun 28, 2018 at 7:39
scapascapa 1191 silver badge6 bronze badges 1 Sorry for being late to the party, but I wonder no one has suggested the pathlib-library. pathlib is a module for "Object-oriented filesystem paths" To convert from windows-style (backslash)-paths to forward-slashes (as typically for Posix-Paths) you can do so in a very verbose (AND platform-independant) fashion with pathlib:
Be aware that the example uses the string-literal "r" (to avoid having "\" as escape-char) In other cases the path should be quoted properly (with double backslashes) "C:\\folderA\\folderB" answered May 14, 2021 at 14:55

This can work also:

this is the perfect solution put the letter 'r' before the string that you want to convert to avoid all special characters likes '\t' and '\f'... like the example below:

How do you change backward slash to forward slash?Press \/ to change every backslash to a forward slash, in the current line. Press \\ to change every forward slash to a backslash, in the current line.
How do you do a forward slash in Python?Programming languages, such as Python, treat a backslash (\) as an escape character. For instance, \n represents a line feed, and \t represents a tab. When specifying a path, a forward slash (/) can be used in place of a backslash. Two backslashes can be used instead of one to avoid a syntax error.
How do you change a backslash to a string in Python?We can use the replace() function to replace the backslashes in a string with another character. To replace all backslashes in a string, we can use the replace() function as shown in the following Python code.
How do you handle a backslash in Python?In Python strings, the backslash "\" is a special character, also called the "escape" character. It is used in representing certain whitespace characters: "\t" is a tab, "\n" is a newline, and "\r" is a carriage return. Conversely, prefixing a special character with "\" turns it into an ordinary character.
