change forward slash to backward slash in python

for category in categories:
  folder = os.path.join(directory, category)
  print(folder)

The output is:

C:\Users\Sibarani\OneDrive\Desktop\Data/cats
C:\Users\Sibarani\OneDrive\Desktop\Data/dogs

expected result is

C:\Users\Sibarani\OneDrive\Desktop\Data\cats
C:\Users\Sibarani\OneDrive\Desktop\Data\dogs

>Solution :

Although it is normally better to use forward slashes exclusively, this can be easily accomplished with string.replace().

e.g.

for category in categories:
    folder = os.path.join(directory, category).replace("/", "\\")
    print(folder)
