Move files to its corresponding folders-CodePudding

How can I move every file to its corresponding folder? I managed to create a folder depending on the title of the file. Now I want to move every file to its folder.

My code:

import os 
directorio=list(os.listdir())

pdfs=[]

for i in directorio: 
  if i.endswith('.pdf'):
    pdfs.append(i)
  
#with this step we create different folders for each group of files 
for i in range(len(pdfs)):

  folder=pdfs[i].split('#')[1].split('.')[0]

  try:
    folder=os.mkdir(folder)
  except:
    pass

CodePudding user response：

Here's a cleaned up version of your original code which moves as well. Note that I have used pathlib.Path rather than the old os.path api.

from pathlib import Path

for pdf in Path(".").glob("*.pdf"):
    dir = pdf.parent / pdf.stem.split("#")[-1]
    dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
    pdf.rename(dir / pdf.name)

Changes:

use glob. But listdir and manual filtering also works
don't cast to list
move straight after making the dir, since that's what we want the dir for, and we know it at the moment!

exist_ok causes mkdir to continue if the directory is already present, rather than throwing an error.
