c# and python no longer able to find files

Question

PROBLEM SOLVED BY RETYPING

I am suddenly no longer able to find files in c# or python. I have a simple program that attempts to read a file in both c# and python.

I have posted both c# and python code, as I think this problem probably is not in the actual code but in some system configuration on my computer. Has anyone experienced something similar and know what the cause of this issue may be?

Thank you in advance, code follows below:

When I run the following c# code, it appears that c# is reading @"?C:Users klaDesktoplookingForMe.txt"

as

'C:Users klasource eposConsoleApp1ConsoleApp1inDebug etcoreapp3.1?C:Users klaDesktoplookingForMe.txt''

        string testValue = @"?C:Users
klaDesktoplookingForMe.txt";

        var enumLines = File.ReadLines(testValue);

Error received:

System.IO.IOException: 'The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. : 'C:Users klasource eposConsoleApp1ConsoleApp1inDebug etcoreapp3.1?C:Users klaDesktoplookingForMe.txt''

when I attempt the same thing in python, I also get an error.

Python program:

files = r"?C:Users klaDesktoplookingForMe.txt"

f = open(files, "r")

contents = f.read()

print(contents)

output:

"C:Program FilesArcGISProinPythonenvsarcgispro-py3python.exe" "C:/Users/nkla/Desktop/ArcGIS Python Projects/Module01/test.py" Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/nkla/Desktop/ArcGIS Python Projects/Module01/test.py", line 3, in f = open(files, "r") OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'u202aC:Users klaDesktoplookingForMe.txt'
