Rename Files: example1
from datetime import datetime from pathlib import Path import os ## This script will rename files and move them into another folder our_files = Path("C:\\Users\\bacchas\Desktop\youtubedl\\test") for file in our_files.iterdir(): if file.suffix != '.cdg' and file.is_file: #make sure its a file and not a directory directory = file.parent extension = file.suffix old_name = file.stem artist, title = old_name.split('-') artist = artist[4:].lstrip() new_name = f'{artist}-{title}{extension}' newpath_name = 'kmp3files' # will create a new path new_path = our_files.joinpath(newpath_name) if not new_path.exists(): new_path.mkdir() new_file_path = new_path.joinpath(new_name) file.rename(new_file_path) # print(new_name) print(new_path)
Rename Files: Example 2
import os import re #os.chdir('D:\\test\\rename') i = input("enter starting value: ") a = open('output.txt', 'w') def video(i): for f in os.listdir(): if f.endswith('.mp4'): print("--") f_name, f_ext = os.path.splitext(f) size = len(f) f_name = f_name.replace('(Video_Karaoke_with_a_black_background)', ' (Karaoke) ') f_name = f_name.replace('_', ' ') f_name = f_name[:- 8].strip() n_name = "{} ".format(i) + f_name + f_ext i = int(i) + 1 os.rename(f, n_name) a.write(str(f_name) + os.linesep) print(n_name) video(i)
Copying a single file
import shutil src_path = r"C:/Users/jim/Dropbox/Filing Cabinet/Karaoke Stuff/newsongscode.txt" dst_path = r"C:/Users/jim/Dropbox/All Folders/websites/msites/rb222/newsongscode.txt" shutil.copy(src_path, dst_path) print('copied')
Copy all files from a directory
import os import shutil source_folder = r"E:\demos\files\reports\\" destination_folder = r"E:\demos\files\account\\" # fetch all files for file_name in os.listdir(source_folder): # construct full file path source = source_folder + file_name destination = destination_folder + file_name # copy only files if os.path.isfile(source): shutil.copy(source, destination) print('copied', file_name)
Copy Entire Directory
import shutil source_dir = r"E:\demos\files\reports" destination_dir = r"E:\demos\files\account" shutil.copytree(source_dir, destination_dir)
