Answers:
The error message you're seeing indicates that Python encountered a string with a Unicode escape sequence that is truncated, meaning it doesn't have the required number of hexadecimal digits. The position 2-3 in the error message refers to the location in the string where the error occurred.
You can solve this error "codec can't decode bytes" by using a raw string by prefixing your string with the letter "r". Raw strings don't interpret backslashes as escape characters.
path = r"C:\Users\User\Documents\file.txt"
Double the backslashes in your string
path = "C:\\Users\\User\\Documents\\file.txt"
Use forward slashes instead of backslashes
path = "C:/Users/User/Documents/file.txt"
