Hi all, I am creating a program that renames all files of the similar file type. But i am stuck at this part. I tried running this code and I got this error: new_name = os.rename(path, newpath) WindowsError: [Error 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists. Hope you guys could help.
import os directory = raw_input("Please input file directory. \n\n") s = raw_input("Please input a name to replace. \n\n") ext = raw_input("input file ext") for filename in listdir(directory): if ext in filename: path = join(directory, filename) fnpart = os.path.splitext(filename)[0] replace_name = filename.replace(fnpart, s) newpath = os.path.join(directory, replace_name) new_name = os.rename(path, newpath) print new_name -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
