What is causing this error and how can I fix it?
(unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape
I have also tried reading different files in the same directory an get this same unicode error as well.
file1 = open("C:\Users\Cameron\Desktop\newtextdocument.txt", "w")
for i in range(1000000):
file1.write(str(i) + "\n")
\U
is being treated as the start of a Unicode literal. Use a raw string (a precedingr
) to prevent this translation:You should escape backslashes inside the string literal. Compare:
