Im trying to put into an array files[]
the paths of each file from the Data folder but when I try to go into subfolders I want it to be able to go down to the end of the Data file, for example I can read files in a subfolder of the main folder Data which im trying to get a list of all the paths of each file into an array but it doesn't go deeper it does not access the subfolder of the subfolder of Data without writing a loop. Want I want is a loop which has infinit depth of view of files in the Data folder so I can get all the file paths.
For example this is what I get:
['Data/DataReader.py', 'Data/DataReader - Copy.py', 'Data/Dat/DataReader.py', 'Data/fge/er.txt']
This is what I want but it can still go into deeper folders:
['Data/DataReader.py', 'Data/DataReader - Copy.py', 'Data/Dat/DataReader.py', 'Data/fge/er.txt', 'Data/fge/Folder/dummy.png', 'Data/fge/Folder/AnotherFolder/data.dat']
This is my current path, what would i need to add or change?
import os
from os import walk
files = []
folders = []
for (dirname, dirpath, filename) in walk('Data'):
folders.extend(dirpath)
files.extend(filename)
break
filecount = 0
for i in files:
i = 'Data/' + i
files[filecount] = i
filecount += 1
foldercount = 0
for i in folders:
i = 'Data/' + i
folders[foldercount] = i
foldercount += 1
subfolders = []
subf_files = []
for i in folders:
for (dirname, dirpath, filename) in walk(i):
subfolders.extend(dirpath)
subf_files.extend(filename)
break
subf_files_count = 0
for a in subf_files:
a = i + '/'+a
files = files
files.append(a)
print files
subf_files = []
print files
print folders
Thanks a lot!
Don't understand what are your trying to do, especially why you break your walk
after the first element:
import os
files = []
folders = []
for (path, dirnames, filenames) in os.walk('Data'):
folders.extend(os.path.join(path, name) for name in dirnames)
files.extend(os.path.join(path, name) for name in filenames)
print files
print folders
