File Not Found in the directory

Question

File Not found when i should already copy that file to the directory

I already tried to copy that file in various folders like Include etc

import numpy as np
import collections
a=np.genfromtxt('Desktop\a.csv',delimiter=',',dtype=str)
print(a)

All the data that is in the file

Because your file path is wrong. File kept on Desktop generally has following path structure for windows `C:/Users/username/desktop/a.csv` — Sociopath, Jan 24 '19 at 05:59

If you have new information, edit your question. Code doesn't format in comments well. — Mark Tolonen, Jan 24 '19 at 06:27

\a is an escape sequence like \n. In this case, it is the BEL character. Escape the backslash (\\a), use a raw string to suppress escape code translation (r'Desktop\a.csv') or use forward slashes.

Note you are also using a relative path, meaning you have to run the code from the directory in which "Desktop" is a sub-directory. Use a full path to make sure you get it on the desktop, which will include your username like 'c:/users/garauv/desktop/a.csv' or whatever your real username is.
