[Tutor] raw_input a directory path

[Spencer Parker]

Here is the code:
http://dpaste.com/hold/193862/

<http://dpaste.com/hold/193862/>It still isn't working for me.  I don't see
it hitting the first for loop or even the second one.  It runs without an
error at all.

I am inputing the directory as: \\Documents\ and\
Settings\\user\\Desktop\\test
