In this python code I am collecting list of folders present in the given location path with parent folder and print the folder names (output went wrong due to escape sequence values with lstrip.) Note : "\a \b \f \r \v \0 \1" are working fine. "\c \e \n \ne \t \te" went wrong. Folder Structure : parent -> cat eat east next nest test Wrong Output : Path: .\parent\, List: ['cat', 'st', '', 'st', 'xt', 'st']

In this python code I am collecting list of folders present in the given location path with parent folder and print the folder names (output went wrong due to escape sequence values with lstrip.) Note : "\a \b \f \r \v \0 \1" are working fine. "\c \e \n \ne \t \te" went wrong. Python Code : import glob as g class Folders: def __init__(self, path, parent_folder_name): self.path = path + parent_folder_name + '\\' self.parent_folder_name = parent_folder_name def showFolders(self): folders = [lst.lstrip(self.path) for lst in g.glob(self.path + '*')] print('Path: '+self.path+ ', List: ',folders) pass if __name__ == "__main__":	obj = Folders(path='.\\', parent_folder_name='parent')	obj.showFolders() Folder Structure : parent -> cat eat east next nest test Wrong Output : Path: .\parent\, List: ['cat', 'st', '', 'st', 'xt', 'st']

lstrip() works by removing any of the characters in its argument, in any order; for example: 'catchy'.lstrip('cat') # 'hy' 'actchy'.lstrip('tac') # 'hy' is stripping, from the left, all 'c's and all 'a's and all 't's -- not just the first three, and order does not matter.
