I need to simply add the word "_Manual" onto the end of all the files i have in a specific directory Here is the script i am using at the moment - i have no experience with python so this script is a frankenstine of other scripts i had lying around!
It doesn't give any error messages but it also doesnt work..
folder = "C:\Documents and Settings\DuffA\Bureaublad\test"
import os, glob
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(folder):
for filename in filenames:
filename_split = os.path.splitext(filename) # filename and extensionname (extension in [1])
filename_zero = filename_split[0]
os.rename(filename_zero, filename_zero + "_manual")
I am now using
folder = "C:\Documents and Settings\DuffA\Bureaublad\test"
import os # glob is unnecessary
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(folder):
for filename in filenames:
fullpath = os.path.join(root, filename)
filename_split = os.path.splitext(fullpath) # filename and extensionname (extension in [1])
filename_zero, fileext = filename_split
print fullpath, filename_zero + "_manual" + fileext
os.rename(fullpath, filename_zero + "_manual" + fileext)
but it still doesnt work.. it doesnt print anything and nothing gets changed in the folder!
I. e. it does nothing? Let's see:
folder = "C:\Documents and Settings\DuffA\Bureaublad\test"
import os # glob is unnecessary
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(folder):
for filename in filenames:
fullpath = os.path.join(root, filename)
filename_split = os.path.splitext(fullpath) # filename and extensionname (extension in [1])
filename_zero, fileext = filename_split
os.rename(fullpath, filename_zero + "_manual" + fileext)
might do the trick, as you have to work with the full path. but I don't understand why there was no exception when the files could not be found...
EDIT to put the change to a more prominent place:
You as well seem to have your path wrong.
Use
folder = r"C:\Documents and Settings\DuffA\Bureaublad\test"
to prevent that the \t is turned into a tab character.
