Hi all,
I have been working on some code to list the files of a folder that has .pdf
extension. I have the basic code to create a list, but it prints that list to
the console. I'd like my code to write a txt file that contains that list (to
later import into excel).
###A script to list pdf files in a folder
###gisdude 02/09/19
###
import os, sys, glob, csv, pathlib
###First, let's change the dir with os
os.chdir("C:\\Users\\Randy\\Documents\\BOOKS")
###Second, let's now get the list of files in this directory
files = glob.glob('*.pdf')
for file in glob.glob("*.pdf"):
print (file)
###This prints to the IDLE console
###But, I want to print to a csv file
####for filename in glob.iglob ('*.pdf'):
###with open('Listofpdf', 'filename') as csvfile:
###writer = csv.writer(csvfile, delimter=' ',
quotechar='|', quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)
###writer.writerrow([('{}\t.format(elem))])
from pathlib import Path
searchdir = "C:\\Users\\Randy\\Documents\\BOOKS"
csvfilename = "listofpdf.txt"
with Path(csvfilename).open(mode="w+") as p:
files = Path(searchdir).glob('*.py')
p.write(f"{' '.join(str(file) for file in files)}\n")
At this point, the pathlib mod seems like it should create the file?
I'm on WINDOWS 10 and IDLE 3.7.
Thanks for any help,
R`
