Greetings,

I am trying to open a text file named “simple-textfile’ on my NetBrain Desktop in a Python Script Module inside a Qapp but am receiving the following error message:

OSError: EErrno 22] Invalid Argument: ‘nbfile://Desktop/simple-textfile’

How can I get Python to read or interpret the filepath and open it for parsing?

Snippet Python Script:

jfile = $Input1.jfile 

with open(jfile, ‘r’) as f:

  asdf = f.read()

  AddMessage(asdf)

$Input1.jfile  is “nbfile://Desktop/sample-textfile”

I tested the filepath with os and it returns that the filepath does not exist:

import os

if os.path.exists(jfile):

  AddMessage(“The file path exists”)

else:

  AddMessage(“the file path does not exist”)

Result:

“The file path does not exist.”

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Best Regards,

Dave
