The problem is when you’re not alone working on a project. Let’s say project has developer A and B. A adds a new source file x.c. He doesn’t changes CMakeLists.txt and commits after he’s finished implementing x.c. Now B does a git pull, and since there have been no modifications to the CMakeLists.txt, CMake isn’t … Read more
In Python 3.5 and newer use the new recursive **/ functionality: configfiles = glob.glob(‘C:/Users/sam/Desktop/file1/**/*.txt’, recursive=True) When recursive is set, ** followed by a path separator matches 0 or more subdirectories. In earlier Python versions, glob.glob() cannot list files in subdirectories recursively. In that case I’d use os.walk() combined with fnmatch.filter() instead: import os import fnmatch … Read more
That’s because * is a shell wildcard: it has a special meaning to the shell, which expands it before passing it on to the command (in this case, java). Since you need a literal *, you need to escape it from the shell. The exact way of escaping varies depending on your shell, but you … Read more
Order is arbitrary, but you can sort them yourself If you want sorted by name: sorted(glob.glob(‘*.png’)) sorted by modification time: import os sorted(glob.glob(‘*.png’), key=os.path.getmtime) sorted by size: import os sorted(glob.glob(‘*.png’), key=os.path.getsize) etc.
import glob jpgFilenamesList = glob.glob(‘145592*.jpg’) See glob in python documenttion
Maybe there is a better way, but how about: import glob types = (‘*.pdf’, ‘*.cpp’) # the tuple of file types files_grabbed = [] for files in types: files_grabbed.extend(glob.glob(files)) # files_grabbed is the list of pdf and cpp files Perhaps there is another way, so wait in case someone else comes up with a better … Read more
In Bash you can do it by enabling the extglob option, like this (replace ls with cp and add the target directory, of course) ~/foobar> shopt extglob extglob off ~/foobar> ls abar afoo bbar bfoo ~/foobar> ls !(b*) -bash: !: event not found ~/foobar> shopt -s extglob # Enables extglob ~/foobar> ls !(b*) abar afoo … Read more
A couple of notes first: when you use Data/data1.txt as an argument, should it really be /Data/data1.txt (with a leading slash)? Also, should the outer loop scan only for .txt files, or all files in /Data? Here’s an answer, assuming /Data/data1.txt and .txt files only: #!/bin/bash for filename in /Data/*.txt; do for ((i=0; i<=3; i++)); … Read more
Bash-specific solution: compgen -G “<glob-pattern>” Escape the pattern or it’ll get pre-expanded into matches. Exit status is: 1 for no-match, 0 for ‘one or more matches’ stdout is a list of files matching the glob. I think this is the best option in terms of conciseness and minimizing potential side effects. Example: if compgen -G … Read more
pathlib.Path.rglob Use pathlib.Path.rglob from the the pathlib module, which was introduced in Python 3.5. from pathlib import Path for path in Path(‘src’).rglob(‘*.c’): print(path.name) If you don’t want to use pathlib, use can use glob.glob(‘**/*.c’), but don’t forget to pass in the recursive keyword parameter and it will use inordinate amount of time on large directories. … Read more
