| Rename files in a folder as numbered files |
 #!/usr/bin/python
"""
Just a small script that renames all the JPEG files
in a folder as 0000.jpg, 0001.jpg etc. Initial order
is retained.
vsbabu AT hotmail DOT com
This is intended as a recipe script, though I use it
way too often to arrange my digital files.
Note that this has possible error conditions that
are not handled at all:
- what if the folder has files already numbered?
- while renaming, it fails if the target file exists
"""
import glob
import string
import os
#get all the jpg file names in the current folder
files = glob.glob("*.jpg")
#sort the list
files.sort()
count = 0
# and rename each file
for f in files:
count = count + 1
n = string.zfill(count,4) + ".jpg"
print f, n,
try:
os.rename(f, n)
print
except:
print "error: didn't rename"

| Replacing spaces in file names python example |
This code will look for file in current or given directory and rename all file that have spaces replacing spaces with underscores. It’s very usefully for example if you want to upload like a 1000 images to your web site.
import os
print \
""" This program renames file names by replacing
spaces in file with _ underscore. If you want to
work with current directory just type cur."
"""
space = " "
dash = "_"
dirrname = raw_input("Enter path to directory that you want to work on: ")
if dirrname == "cur":
cwd = os.getcwd()
dirr = os.listdir(cwd)
for filename in dirr:
if space in filename:
filename1 = filename.replace(space,dash)
os.rename(filename, filename1)
print filename1
else:
# gets current directory
dirr = os.listdir(dirrname)
for filename in dirr:
if space in filename:
filename1 = filename.replace(space,dash)
os.rename(filename, filename1)
print filename1
Download python script: dirr.py |

| The power of Automation! |
Python search change attribute and write.
Here is my project for today! One guy at work was spending 1-2 hours fixing some reports so i decided that this is a big waste of time here is a code that will look for UNC path in huge report and it will change attribute and write some data to file that it found in report.
import re
import os, sys, stat
print "To make this script work save report as super.txt file on drive C:"
raw_input("Press Enter if you sure that you are ready:")
text = open("C:\super.txt", "r")
text2 = open("log.txt", "a")
joke = "\n"
string1 = 'The file'
supertext = '91919191919324234983750847523750
for line in text:
#only looks for lines that have the file string
if string1 in line:
#assign path to string
#search for strings that starts with \\ and ends with .ctx extension
su = re.search(r'\\\\IMG.*?.ctx', line).group()
#removes read only attribute
os.chmod(su, stat.S_IWRITE)
#writes log file for all path that was found
text2.writelines(su)
text2.writelines(joke)
#open every file
man = open(su, "a")
#add data to file
man.writelines(supertext)
print re.search(r'\\\\IMG.*?.ctx', line).group()
text.close()
text2.close()
man.close() |
