Hi,

This is the following code which i have used to retrieve the pathname
of a filename given by the user

        filename = self.enText.get() # get the text entered in the
text box
        if os.path.exists(filename): # checking if the filename
exists , had replaced it with os.path.exists(os.path.abspath
(filename))
            print os.path.abspath(filename)
        else:
            print "Not found"

actually i need to list all the files/folders with the given filename
alongwith path and store it in an CSV file with index.

But i am unable to get even a single filepath correctly.
Whatever filename i enter the output is as : C:\Python25\WorkSpace
\xyz
i.e the name i entered is being appended to my workspace and
displayed.
Guys, i am not able to understand what shall i do here...plz help me
out.
