I have some code which adds the word "_manual" onto the end of a load of filenames..
I need to change the script so that it deletes the last two letters of the filename (ES) and then replaces it with _ES_Manual
for example: AC-5400ES.txt --> AC-5400_ES_manual.txt
How would i incorporate that function into this code?
folder = r"C:/Documents and Settings/DuffA/Bureaublad/test"
import os # glob is unnecessary
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(folder):
for filename in filenames:
fullpath = os.path.join(root, filename)
filename_split = os.path.splitext(fullpath) # filename and extensionname (extension in [1])
filename_zero, fileext = filename_split
print fullpath, filename_zero + "_manual" + fileext
os.rename(fullpath, filename_zero + "_manual" + fileext)
Try this:
import os
pathiter = (os.path.join(root, filename)
for root, _, filenames in os.walk(folder)
for filename in filenames
)
for path in pathiter:
newname = path.replace('ES.txt', '_ES_manual.txt')
if newname != path:
os.rename(path,newname)
For a more generalized take on hughdbrown's answer. This code can be used to remove any particular character or set of characters.
import os
paths = (os.path.join(root, filename)
for root, _, filenames in os.walk('C:\FolderName')
for filename in filenames)
for path in paths:
# the '#' in the example below will be replaced by the '-' in the filenames in the directory
newname = path.replace('#', '-')
if newname != path:
os.rename(path, newname)
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(folder):
to_write = ['root == %s\n' % root]
for filename in filenames:
filename_zero, fileext = os.path.splitext(filename)
newname = "%s_%s_manual%s" % (filename_zero[:-2],filename_zero[-2:],fileext)
tu = (os.path.join(root, filename), os.path.join(root, newname))
to_write.append('%s --> %s\n' % tu)
os.rename(*tu)
print '\n'.join(to_write)
you could do:
for filename in filenames:
print(filename) #should display AC-5400ES.txt
filename = filename.replace("ES.txt","ES_manual.txt")
print(filename) #should display AC-5400ES_manual.txt
fullpath = os.path.join(root, filename)
os.rename(fullpath, filename)
