iloc error: IndexError: single positional indexer is out-of-bounds-CodePudding

I'm trying to write code which loops through a dir using os.dir and which adds all the file names in the pd.dataframe first column which is named filename. however , i get the following error.

error:

CodePudding user response：

Since your dataframe is empty and you want to add row to it, you can use loc. You cann't use iloc since i is out of the dataframe length.

for i in os.listdir('/home/ubuntu/imageTrain_dobby/SKJEWELLERY/BC4U/google_version/v1.1/lingyau_lee/output/test'):
    for k,j in enumerate(os.listdir('/home/ubuntu/imageTrain_dobby/SKJEWELLERY/BC4U/google_version/v1.1/lingyau_lee/output/test' '/' i)): 
        dfTest.loc[k, 'filename'] = j
