“CSV file does not exist” for a filename with embedded quotes

Question

I am currently learning Pandas for data analysis and having some issues reading a csv file in Atom editor.

When I am running the following code:

imp         


        

Answer 1

Run "pwd" command first in cli to find out what is your current project's direction and then add the name of the file to your path!

Answer 2

Make sure your source file is saved in .csv format. I tried all the steps of adding the full path to the file, including and deleting the header=0, adding skiprows=0 but nothing works as I saved the excel file(data file) in workbook format and not in CSV format. so keep in mind to first check your file extension.

Answer 3

If you get this type of Error

Then fix the path of the directory

Answer 4

Being on jupyter notebook it works for me including the relative path only. For example:

df = pd.read_csv ('file.csv')

But, for example, in vscode I have to put the complete path:

df = pd.read_csv ('/home/code/file.csv')

Answer 5

Have you tried?

df = pd.read_csv("Users/alekseinabatov/Documents/Python/FBI-CRIME11.csv")

or maybe

df = pd.read_csv('Users/alekseinabatov/Documents/Python/"FBI-CRIME11.csv"')

(If the file name has quotes)

Answer 6

What works for me is

dataset = pd.read_csv('FBI_CRIME11.csv')

Highlight it and press enter. It also depends on the IDE you are using. I am using Anaconda Spyder or Jupiter.
