Directory-tree listing in Python
(21 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I want to retrieve the filenames of all the files with .xml extension present in various subfolders in a single directory,
code:
import os
xmlFiles = []
for directoryPath in os.walk(filePath):
fileName = directoryPath[2]
if fileName[:3] = 'xml':# or fileName.endswith('xml'):
xmlFiles.append(fileName)
Use os.walk, and str.endswith.

Rename multiple files in Python [duplicate]
(7 answers)

I have over 2000 images in a folder that needs to be renamed. Currently, it's a default name as w=0&h=-_BACl339n_c4PTZDlVgaHWg9s1k_Vyz8PbhNhhXkQk=0 and I need it to name it as fear_1 and all the other images in this format. Is there any way to achieve this?
Use os.listdir to get all the filenames and os.rename to rename them
import os
path = '//path//to//folder'
files = os.listdir(path)
for index, file in enumerate(files):
os.rename(os.path.join(path, file), os.path.join(path, ''.join(['fear_',str(index+1), '.jpg'])))

How do I get the filename without the extension from a path in Python?

I am iterating through a folder of files, to extract some text from an xml, and wish to keep track of which file each text match came from.
I am looking to put the filenames into the filename_master list. I think I may be over-complicating by using a regex (each filename has 14 digits.xml) but this isn't coming to me.
path = '/Users/Downloads/PDF/XML/'
read_files = glob.glob(os.path.join(path, '*.xml'))
filename_master=[]
text_master=[]
for file in read_files:
parse = ET.parse(file)
root = parse.getroot()
all_nodes = list(root.iter())
ls=[ele.text for ele in all_nodes if ele.findall('[#mark="1"]')]
my_exp = re.compile(r'.*(\d{14})\.xml')
name = my_exp.match(file).group(1)
filename_master.append(name)
text_master.append(ls)
If you are sure that every file has 14 digits, you may
name = file[-18:-4]
filename_master.append(name)
or if you are in linux environment (where "/" is path seperator):
name = file.split('/')[-1][:-4]
filename_master.append(name)
or better:
name = os.path.basename(file)[:-4]
filename_master.append(name)
but using regex is fine IMHO.

Find all files in a directory with extension .txt in Python

My objective is to print out all available files that end in '.txt' inside a folder, I'm unsure how to do so.
Thank you for reading.
you can use
filename.endswith('.txt')
simply just open the folder by
fileList = os.listdir("folder_path") #open that folder
for filename in fileList:
if(filename.endswith('.txt')): # check its extension
print(filename)

How to get ONLY filename instead of full path?
For example:
path = /folder/file.txt
and i need to get:
filename = file.txt
How to do that?
You should use the os module:
import os
filename = os.path.basename(path)
For other path manipulations look here (for python 2.7) or here (for python 3)

How to read all files and also the filenames?
I am using MAC so is there any there a different way to give path on MAC in Python?
Maybe something like this? Or os.listdir() is simpler if you don't need recursion.
Even on Windows, Python abstracts away the differences between operating systems if you use it well.
#!/usr/local/cpython-3.3/bin/python
import os
def main():
for root, dirs, files in os.walk('/home/dstromberg/src/outside-questions'):
for directory in dirs:
print('directory', os.path.join(root, directory))
for file_ in files:
print('file', os.path.join(root, file_))
main()
