want to concat the directory and file name

Question

from pathlib import Path
destination_file = "foo.txt"
current_dir = Path.cwd()
out_file = current_dir + destination_file

Throws the below error out_file = current_dir + destination_file TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'WindowsPath' and 'str'

use os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.curdir), 'destination.txt')) — Dave Ankin, Dec 22 '20 at 17:03
@DaveAnkin - `pathlib` is meant to replace the `os.path.xxx` functions. — tdelaney, Dec 22 '20 at 17:04
Make sure you write working examples. We have to guess whether this is `pathlib` and whether `destination_file` is a string. — tdelaney, Dec 22 '20 at 17:11

you recieving a Path object that cannot be concatenated to a string, instead do :

current_dir = Path.cwd() # WindowsPath('C:/full/path')
out_file  = current_dir.joinpath(destination_file) # WindowsPath('C:/full/path/dest_file.txt')
