The following line will either always be executed if you have a subdirectory 
"d" in your current working directory and that directory contains a file 
called "f" (unlikely) or never if "d\\f" doesn't exist (likely). 

Have a look at os.path.join() for the right way to join a directory with a 
filename into a path. Use the interactive interpreter to make sure you get 
the desired result and understand how it works before you fix your script.

According to the error message the file you are trying to copy doesn't 
exist. Have a look into the C:\Desktop\salngeg\src\code folder, and check 
whether a file called a.c is there. If not you have three options

- add the file
- remove the line from the excel file
- modify the code to check if the *source* file exists
