Get rid of \\ in glob.glob

I have the following code:

ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW(0, "Please choose a file directory", "File directory", 1)
EDS_database_path = filedialog.askdirectory()
EDS_answer = simpledialog.askstring("Input", "Please enter the ID")

EDS_files_list = glob.glob(EDS_database_path+'/**'+EDS_answer+'**', recursive = True)

print(EDS_files_list)

In the output I get:

['X:/data/Folder\\afilewithIDnumber.txt','X:/data/Folder\\anotherfilewithIDnumber.txt',]

So the function worked well but I want to get rid of "\" and replace it with "/" as I explicitly wanted to do in my function.

You can use print([filename.replace("\\", "/") for filename in EDS_files_list]) instead of print(EDS_files_list). This will replace all instances of \\ in the strings with /, which will make it output like you want it to.
