whitespaces in the path of windows filepath

Question

I am working on file operations using python     I have a filepath as      filepath    E  ABC SEM 2 testfiles all txt    when I am opening the file using python  it says me      IOError  No such file    but  the file is present on the drive  It may be because windows cannnot take  SEM 2  properly as it contains space  How can I deal with such whitespaces in the path of window path

Try putting double quotes in your filepath variable     E  ABC SEM 2 testfiles all txt      Check the permissions of the file or in any case consider renaming the folder to remove the space
