I am using the code below to extract the file names from a directory and print them. However, the print is not easilly readable and I was wondering if anyone could help me think of a better way to display it by seperating it. So my question is how would you seperate this file name using python?
from os import listdir
def find_csv_filenames( path_to_dir, suffix=".csv" ):
filenames = listdir(path_to_dir)
return [ filename for filename in filenames if filename.endswith( suffix ) ]
filenames = find_csv_filenames('C:\Users\AClayton\Aug')
for name in filenames:
print name
Which gives the filename Agusta_AW149_Ground_2011_7_29_14_50_0.csv.
I would like it to read something like Name=Augusta Test=Ground Date =29/7/2011. I would like to do this for many file names which have the same format/order, just the 'Test' so the 'Ground' will change and the Date.
Thanks for any help
if you are sure that every filename will have that attribute order, you can use
name.split('_')
and just organize the new strings as you prefer. For instance, in your case you could do something like:
sep_names = name.split('_')
Name = 'Name='+sep_names[0]
Test = 'Test='+sep_names[2]
Data = 'Date='+sep_names[5]+'/'+sep_names[4]+'/'+sep_names[3]
