What exactly is wrong with using iterdir on the Path object?

[korenron]

this is what I get:

hotspot
script.txt

and in the hostspot fodler there are 5 fiels

in the end I need to get this kind of list - so I will be abel to use the full name and uplaod it FTP
["C:\\Test\\App1\\hotspot\\Images\\Bunner.png", "C:\\Test\\App1\\login.html", "C:\\Test\\App1\\script.txt"]

Hi, and thanks for your reply! I just want to learn how this works!

I am running Ubuntu, I never use Windows, I find it terrible.

In my path are 978 files to be found, according to my answer using glob.

I tried your code in my Idle shell.

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> mydir = Path(path)
>>> filelist = [filename for filename in mydir.iterdir() if filename.is_file()]
>>> for filename in filelist:
print(f"\nfilename: {filename.name}")
print(f"file suffix: {filename.suffix}")
print(f"full path: {filename.resolve()}")
print(f"filepath parts: {filename.parts}")


>>> len(filelist)
0
>>> path
'/home/pedro/summer2021/OMR/'

how can I get the all files in a spesific folder (include sub-folder)?

Then need a recursive solution with pathlib it will be like this.

from pathlib import Path

dest = r'C:\Test'
for path in Path(dest).rglob('*'):
    if path.is_file():
        print(path)

With OS module the same would be.

import os

dest = r'C:\Test'
for root,dirs,files in os.walk(dest):
    for file in files:
        print(os.path.join(root, file))

Both work great for me!

Can I ask why you use r ??

r'C:\Test'

I tried with and without r, both work for me on Ubuntu.

[korenron]

Great
work like a charm , like I needed to :-)

what is the dfferent between the two?

I used the first one - do I need to check the second one also ?

Thanks ,

To avoid problem with escape character

>>> path = 'C:\test'
>>> print(path)
C:      est
>>> path = r'C:\test'
>>> print(path)
C:\test

Can also write it like this C:\\test or other way C:/ both work,just not singe \.
On Linux usually don't have this problem.

I used the first one - do I need to check the second one also ?

No,the first is the newest and preferred one with pathlib tutorial
It was just to show how it was done with OS module.

Hi,
I have anothe problem now...

'WindowsPath' object is not subscriptable

when I try to upload it using FTP I get the above error

 try:
        for test_file in Path(Test_Path).rglob('*'):
            if test_file.is_file():
                Upload_Status = upload_script(ip, test_file)

what do I need to change \ do ?

Where are you treating the path like a sequence and shouldn't be? If you want more specific help, you need to give more details. Specifically:

- Show the full traceback. It gives important information about where the error occurred (i.e. the line number)
- Show all the code, or a minimal, yet complete example that demonstrates the problem (the code you've provided is not complete, as some variables and functions are not defined).
