title: Trying to access folders in a sharedrive
body: <p>I am trying to access folders in a sharedrive but the numbers placed in front of the folder names are causing issues. I have no idea why the numbers in front of the two folders 02_COLLECTION_VEHICLES and 07_GIS_LAYERS are present. I created the GIS_LAYERS folder but I didn't name it along with the 07_. At any rate, my program can access the sharedrive folders just fine that do not have the numbers and underscores in their name. So what can I do to access these folders? I was thinking of using regular expressions but im not sure how to use them in this case.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code for accessing and retrieving the file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def readerOut():
      import os
      import re
      os.chdir(\
      ('S:\PAVE_MANAGEMENT\AUTOMATED_DISTRESS_SURVEYS\02_COLLECTION_VEHICLES\07_GIS_LAYERS')
      reader = open('2015_FILES_COMBINED.CSV')
      yield reader
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run this code I get a WindowsError: [Error 3] and it says that it cannot find that specified file path.</p>
  
  <p>Would something like this work if it was in the function?:</p>
  
  <pre><code>re.search('^[0-9]\\d*_COLLECTION_VEHICLES\^[0-9]\d*_GIS_LAYERS')
  </code></pre>
