I want to find folders that has no data in it and get thier folder names. The first and second folders are named randomly in numbers and has data in random folders. the codes are

path = 'M://done/mesh/*'    
FL = glob.glob(path)
FL2 = glob.glob(FL[0]   '/*')  

FL2
['M://done/mesh\\41\\23',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\24',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\33',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\34',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\35',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\36',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\43',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\44',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\45',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\46',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\47',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\53',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\54',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\55',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\63',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\64',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\65',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\66',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\67',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\74',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\75',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\76',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\77',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\85',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\86',
 'M://done/mesh\\41\\87']


FL2[24][24:26]   FL2[24][27:30]   '0000'      # why do I need [24:26}, [27:30]???

finding_files = ['_Caminfo.dat','running.csv']
print(FL2[0]   '/0000/02_output/'   FL2[0][24:26]   FL2[0][27:30]   '0000/'   fn1[0])
'41860000'

CodePudding user response：

You can use os.listdir to find empty folders, like below:

import os

folder_list = ["D:\\test_1", "D:\\test_2"]

empty_folders = []

for folder in folder_list:
    try:
        if not os.listdir(folder):
            empty_folders.append(folder)
    except FileNotFoundError:
        pass

print(empty_folders)
