I have two directories that contain text files having same name. Though the file names are same they contain different data and I want to access same named files from both the directories at a time and wants to do some calculation. For testing purposes I have written below code but the loops does not access same named data file at a time....it choses random text files from both directories. Can anybody please suggest me how to access same named files by the below code?
nb: I have to access nearly 1000 files
import glob
data1=glob.glob('/home/liu/Music/datafiles1/*.txt')
data2=glob.glob('/home/liu/Music/datafiles2/*.txt')
for files in data:
print(files)
for file in data2:
print(file)
You know the filenames in dir2
are the same as in dir1
, so you don't need to list both directories. Just attach the filename you found to the second dir.
from pathlib import Path
dir1 = Path('/home/liu/Music/datafiles1')
dir2 = Path('/home/liu/Music/datafiles2')
for filepath1 in dir1.glob('*.txt'):
filepath2 = dir2 / filepath1.name
print(filepath1, filepath2)
