How to iterate through file names and print out the corresponding file names with pathlib.glob()

My Directory looks like this:

P1_SAMPLE.csv
P5_SAMPLE.csv
P7_SAMPLE.csv
P10_SAMPLE.csv

How do I iterate through files in this directory using pathlib.glob() if I want to print out the corresponding file names?

My code looks like this at the moment:

from pathlib import Path

file_path = r'C:\Users\HP\Desktop\My Directory'

for fle in Path(file_path).glob('P*_SAMPLE.csv'):
    print()  # What should the code here be?

I want my output to print this out:

P1_sam
P5_sam
P7_sam
P10_sam

Many thanks in advance!

Solution 
  • from pathlib import Path

file_path = r'C:\Users\HP\Desktop\My Directory'

for fle in Path(file_path).glob('P*_SAMPLE.csv'):
    first = fle.name.split('_')[0]
    second = fle.name.split('_')[1]
    print("{}_{}".format(first, second[:3].lower()))

    Output : 

    P10_sam
P1_sam
P4_sam
P5_sam
