Write a script to convert all DOS style backslashes to UNIX style slashes in a list of files.
Answer:
Here is a Python script that converts all DOS style backslashes to UNIX style slashes in a list of files:
import os
files = ['/path/to/file1', '/path/to/file2', '/path/to/file3']
for file in files:
new_file = file.replace('\\', '/')
os.rename(file, new_file)
This script uses the os.rename function to rename each file in the files list by replacing all instances of '\\' with '/' in the file path.
Please note that it will only work for file in your local machine, if the files are on a network drive the os.rename will fail.
In that case you can use the following code to replace the backslashes with forward slashes
import os
files = ['/path/to/file1', '/path/to/file2', '/path/to/file3']
for file in files:
with open(file, "r") as f:
contents = f.read()
contents = contents.replace("\\", "/")
with open(file, "w") as f:
f.write(contents)
This will read the contents of the file, replace all the backslashes with forward slashes, and then write the modified contents back to the file.
