hi guys ! i create a parent folder for my data cats ands dogs …i ve been runnin in vain i get the same error no such file or directory DIRECTORY

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator, load_img
#from keras.utils import to_categorical
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import random
import os
import pickle
#print (os.listdir(“…/input”))
#Using Tensorflow backend.
#(‘train’(1).csv’)

=r"\C:\Users\moi\OneDrive\Documents\conv neural l\cats\"

  1 for categorie in CATEGORIES :
  2     folder = os.path.join( DIRECTORY , categorie )
----> 3     for img in os.listdir(folder):

4         img_path = os.path.join (folder,img )

5         img_arr = cv2.imread(img_path )
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘\\C:\\Users\\moi\\OneDrive\\Documents\\conv neural l\\cats\\/cats’
can anyone help?
              
First of all, to make it easier for us to read your code you should ‘fence’ it with triple backticks (```), then this

```python

def foo(bar):

return bar * 2

will look like this
def foo(bar):
    return bar * 2
To your question: Assuming that the line starting with =r"\C... refers to the file path, that file path should probably not end in ...\conv neural I\cats\ and just end in ...\conv neural I\. I believe this because the error states that the file you are trying to look up in the loop ends with \cats\\/cats, i.e. one \\cats too many.
              
ok  thank you very much for  reply
i exctracted  the folder from zip and i get a better path :

C:\Users\moi\Downloads\PARENT_ FOLDER\1577957291_deeplearningwithkerasandtensorflow (5)\data\test\cats
but with :
File “”, line 1

DIRECTORY =r"\C:\Users\moi\Downloads\PARENT_FOLDER\1577957291_deeplearningwithkerasandtensorflow (5)\data\test\cats

SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
thank you vm
              
another try :
DIRECTORY =r"\C:\Users\moi\Downloads\PARENT_FOLDER\1577957291_deeplearningwithkerasandtensorflow (5)\data\test\cats"
i get  a worst error :
FileNotFoundError                         Traceback (most recent call last)

1 for categorie in CATEGORIES :

2     folder = os.path.join( DIRECTORY , categorie )
