How to extract the file name from a file path?

Question

I have the following code:

os.listdir(\"staging\")

# Seperate filename from extension
sep = os.sep

# Change the casing
for n in os.listdir(\"staging\"):
           


        

Answer 1

If all you want to do is truncate the file paths to just the filename, you can use os.path.basename:

for file in files:
    fname = os.path.basename(file)
    dict_[fname] = (pd.read_csv(file, header=0, dtype=str, encoding='cp1252')
                      .fillna(''))

Example:

os.path.basename('Desktop/test.txt')
# 'test.txt'

Answer 2

import os
pathname ='c:\\hello\\dickins\\myfile.py'
head, tail = os.path.split(pathname)
print head
print tail

Answer 3

As ColdSpeed said, you can use "os.path.basename" to truncate a file to its name, but I think what you are refering to is the ability to pycache the data?

For Example here is my Directory:

You see the pycache folder? that initializes it as a module. Then, you can import a file from that module (for example the staging.txt file and operate on it.) I use the IpConfig.txt File from the assets folder level (or should be) and take a line of information out of it.

import pygame as pyg
import sys
import os
import math
import ssl
import socket as sock
import ipaddress as ipad
import threading
import random
print("Modules Installed!")

class two:
    # Find out how to refer to class super construct
    def main(Display, SecSock, ipadd, clock):
        # I have code here that has nothing to do with the question...


    def __init__():
        print("Initializing[2]...")
        # Initialization of Pygame and SSL Socket goes here

        searchQuery = open("IpConfig.txt", 'r') #Opening the File IpConfig(Which now should open on the top level of the game files)

        step2 = searchQuery.readlines()# read the file
        ipadd = step2[6] # This is what you should have or something similar where you reference the line you want to copy or manipulate.

        main(gameDisplay, SSLSock, ipadd, clock)# Im having issues here myself - (main() is not defined it says)
        print(ipadd)
        print("Server Certificate Configuration Enabled...")








    __init__() # Start up the procedure

This article here worked out just fine for me

import os
inputFilepath = 'path/to/file/foobar.txt'
filename_w_ext = os.path.basename(inputFilepath)
filename, file_extension = os.path.splitext(filename_w_ext)
#filename = foobar
#file_extension = .txt

path, filename = os.path.split(path/to/file/foobar.txt)
# path = path/to/file
# filename = foobar.txt
