My goal with this program:
Move a specified number of files from the source folder into the destination folder. For example, if the source folder contains 8 files I want to move the last 4 files to the destination folder. I'm unsure how to go about this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
The code below moves all files.
Code:
import os
import shutil
def moveFiles():
source_folder = r"path"
destination_folder = r"path"
file_names = os.listdir(source_folder)
for file_name in file_names:
shutil.move(os.path.join(source_folder, file_name), destination_folder)
def main():
moveFiles()
if __name__ == "__main__":
try:
main()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
exit()
for file_name in file_names[4:]:
shutil.move(os.path.join(source_folder, file_name), destination_folder
Slice file_names from 5th index.
