Rename Files Rename Files

Here we are. This is my first post ... in Inglese. We Can Start From Some little script Which sitrng delete from file-names:

import os

daSostituire = raw_input ("Enter the string to replace>") =

SostituisciCon raw_input ("Enter the string to replace> ")

for path in os.listdir (os.getcwd ()): = NewName

path.replace (daSostituire, SostituisciCon)

os.rename (path, newname)

print "I renamed% s to% s"% (path, newname)

Well, now we'll see what we Have Done:

import os : I load the package to mange files and folders.

daSostituire = raw_input ("Enter the string to replace>") : Ask the user to the string to replace.

SostituisciCon = raw_input ("Enter the string to replace>") : Ask the user to the string That has to be used to replace the above.

os.getcwd () : this Gives me the folder of the script.

os.listdir () : this one Gives me the list of files and folders.

for ... in ... : this is a cycle and takes all the element in the list. I.e.: if I want all the apples in a bag I'll do: for apple in bag.

for path in os.listdir(os.getcwd()) : this does a cycle on all files and folders in the current directory.

nuovoNome = path.replace(daSostituire,SostituisciCon) : makes the new name of the file, by replacing the string defined above.

os.rename(path,nuovoNome) : renames the file.

print "Ho rinominato %s in %s"%(path,nuovoNome) : prints what it did.
