I am stuck at this code challenge:
I have tried it on my own machine and it works fine
import os
import re

num = 0
while os.path.exists(res):
res = res[:res.rfind('.')] + str(num) + res[res.rfind('.'):]
num += 1
res = re.sub(r'\s+', r'', res)
path, filename = res[:res.rfind('/')+1], res[res.rfind('/')+1:]
filename = re.sub(r'^[^\d\w\_]', r'a', filename).lower().strip()
return path + filename
