insert variable in row string python

Question

i want to insert variables date and month inside string

filename = f'C:\Users\91956\Desktop\{date}{month}.csv.zip'

i get error

                                                           ^
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

i think the string need to be a raw string i.e i need to write r' before string but by doing so i am unable to insert variables in string

how to do this?

Using double quotes (i.e. "...") and forward-slash character (i.e. /) also applies here: ``` filename = f"C:/Users/91956/Desktop/{date}{month}.csv.zip" ``` — surya, May 31 '21 at 08:16
@ctrl Double or single quotes make zero difference here…?! — deceze, May 31 '21 at 08:17

It’s about the backslashes. You need to escape every one of them for this work.

filename = f'C:\\Users\\91956\\Desktop\\{date}{month}.csv.zip'
