Adding a char inside path string

[Hitesh]

How about this:

def TruncateString(s, Tindex):
    return string.ljust(s,Tindex){:Tindex]


s = '\\serverName\\C:\\Folder Name1\\FolderName2\\example.exe -u ABC -g

XYZ'
try:
    Sindex = s.find(".exe")
    if Sindex > 0:
        Sindex = Tindex + 4
        s1 = TruncateString(s, Sindex)
except:
    pass
