a simple 'for' question

oops, my mistake, actually it didn't work...
when I tried:
for x in folders:
print x # print the current folder
filename='Folder/%s/myfile.txt' %x
f=open(filename,'r')
it says: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'Folder/1/myfile.txt'
I should mention that I am working in windows, could it be the / vs. \?
I tried:
for x in folders:
print x # print the current folder
filename='Folder\%s\myfile.txt' %x
f=open(filename,'r')
filename is now 'Folder\\1\\myfile.txt', and the pathway doesn't exist.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again for your time.
