renaming files with list of names that's contains different strings-CodePudding

I have a folder of images like this

img (1).png
img (2).png
img (3).png

I also have a list of names that I got from another folder with the same amount of files. Now I want to rename the images folder with new names using the names in the list.

import os
org = os.listdir('C:/Python310/py_scripts/new')
fake = os.listdir('C:/Python310/py_scripts/fake')





org = [i.replace('.PNG', '.png') for i in org]


for i in org:
    for s in fake:
        os.rename(f'C:/Python310/py_scripts/fake/{s}', f'C:/Python310/py_scripts/nw/{i}')

the images are in folder 'fake' and the list was from the names in folder 'new' and 'nw' is where I want the renamed images to be.

This is the output

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:/Python310/py_scripts/fake/0001 (1).png' -> 'C:/Python310/py_scripts/nw/0008.png'

CodePudding user response：

Try this:

import os


org = os.listdir('C:/Python310/py_scripts/new')
fake = iter(os.listdir('C:/Python310/py_scripts/fake'))

org = [i.replace('.PNG', '.png') for i in org]

### If both folders contain the same amount of files.
for i in org:
    os.rename(f'C:/Python310/py_scripts/fake/{next(fake)}', f'C:/Python310/py_scripts/nw/{i}')
