We use pathlib and forward slashes so that the Path() function can be used to automatically convert backslash to forward slash on Linux systems.
Does file exist?
from pathlib import Path
if not Path('C:/MyDirectoryname/MyFileName.txt').exists():
print("Does not exist")Getting file name elements
from pathlib import Path
my_path = Path("some_folder/some_sub_folder/my_filename.txt")
print(my_path.name) #Prints "my_filename.txt"
print(my_path.suffix) #Prints "txt
print(my_path.stem) #Prints "my_filename"Delete file
import os
if os.path.exists("myfile.txt"):
os.remove("myfile.txt")
USEFUL?
We benefit hugely from resources on the web so we decided we should try and give back some of our knowledge and resources to the community by opening up many of our company’s internal notes and libraries through mini sites like this. We hope you find the site helpful.
