[Zope] Creating files on server

Tue, 24 Apr 2001 10:48:19 -0400

Remember, the '\' is an escape character in Python.  You need to double it
when you embed it in a string, like so:

filename='c:\\temp\\testfile.txt'

Or you can use the raw string syntax:

filename=r'c:\temp\testfile.txt'

I don't know if a Zope Python script supports the raw syntax, but I doubt if
it will let you write a file to the filesystem.  An external method is no
doubt what you want.

Cheers,
