How can I find the number of files within a directory?

Question

How can I get the number of files in a certain folder using pathlib ?

from pathlib import Path
fileDir = Path("C:/Users/Jonas/Desktop/Test")

Answer 1

You could use .glob() or .rglob():

from pathlib import Path
fileDir = Path("C:/Users/Jonas/Desktop/Test")
excelFiles = fileDir.rglob('*.xl*')
print(len(list(excelFiles)))
>>> 3
