Indentation and Syntax Errors in File Organizing Script in Python


I've been working on a file organizing script from a tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRuq3SRXses&t=22s

However, I'm new to python, so much of its nuance is hidden to me.

I have two indentation errors, as well as two syntax errors, however after looking at several questions on here, I still can't seem to fix it. I'm confident I did not mix spaces and tabs, and the person from the tutorial I used seem to use his version of the script perfectly fine.

As for the syntax errors, I do not know what the issue could be.

Here is a copy of my code:

import os
import shutil

origin_dir = r'D:\TTITF\Game Files and Animations\Animations\Bridges\Walk ~ Alvie - V_2 R RAW'
target_dir = r'D:\TTITF\Game Files and Animations\Animations\Bridges\Walk ~ Alvie - V_2 R TRIMMED'



for f in os.listdir(origin_dir):
    filename, file_ext = os.path.splitext(f)

    try:
        if not file_ext:
            pass

        elif int(filename) in range(0, 60):
            shutil.move(
                os.path.join(origin_dir, f'{filename}{file_ext}')
                os.path.join(target_dir, 'V_O to V_4', f'{filename}{file_ext}'))


    except (FileNotFoundError, PermissionError):
        pass

Solution

  • You need to run the python code on IDE such as VS code,Jupyter notebook, Pycharm ( which is mentioned in tutorial that you are watching). Most developer write code in

    When you are typing in the terminal you need to type keep and give space keeping in mind the indentation needed for the code

    Useful commands to write in terminal

    Press enter -> To enter a new line Double press enter -> To execute the code
