[SOLVED] Good way to handle input args? - Winfried - May-18-2021 Hello, My script could be called with either discrete filenames or a glob: #myscript.py file1.txt file2.txt #myscript.py *.txt for item in sys.argv[1:]: for file in glob.glob(sys.argv[1]):Before I hack something, do you know of a good way to handle both cases? Thank you. RE: Good way to handle input args? - bowlofred - May-18-2021 Filenames glob to themselves. If you want to accept globs, I would just pass them all through glob. If one is just a filename, you'll get that filename back. I'd also use itertools to put it into one single list. import itertools import glob filenames = list(itertools.chain.from_iterable([glob.glob(x) for x in sys.argv[1:]])) RE: Good way to handle input args? - Winfried - May-18-2021 Thank you. |
