Hello,
I grabbed some sample code from the web and put together this python script
which searches all subdirectories for a specific file type, then replaces a
string with a new one. Out of curiosity I ran it again. Here's what happens
(this also happens for the files I am looking to replace OutputPath=Z:\ with
OutputPath=Z:\DXF):
1st run: replaces OutputPath=Z:\ with OutputPath=Z:\CSV )
2nd run: replaces OutputPath=Z:\CSV with OutputPath=Z:\CSV\CSV
3rd run: replaces OutputPath=Z:\CSV\CSV with OutputPath=Z:\CSV\CSV\CSV
And so on.
I cant figure out why it's doing this if I am searching a certain string value
and replacing it. I am also perplexed on why it is only adding the "CSV" each
time rather than the full string. What I want it to do is only replace once.
Next time I run it it shouldn't do anything.
import fnmatch,os,sys
mydir = 'C:\\!DOMSExtractor'
findStr = 'OutputPath=Z:\\'
def replaceStringInFile(findStr,replStr,filePath):
tempName=filePath+'~~~'
input = open(filePath)
output = open(tempName,'w')
for s in input:
print findStr
print replStr
output.write(s.replace(findStr,replStr))
output.close()
input.close()
os.remove(filePath)
os.rename(tempName,filePath)
print filePath
def myfun(dummy, dirr, filess):
for child in filess:
filePath = dirr+'/'+child
if '.ini' == os.path.splitext(child)[1] and os.path.isfile(filePath):
print file(filePath, 'rb').read().find(findStr)
if file(filePath, 'rb').read().find(findStr) <> -1:
if fnmatch.fnmatch(dirr+'/'+child, '*BGExtract.ini'):
replaceStringInFile(findStr,'OutputPath=Z:\\DXF\\',filePath)
elif fnmatch.fnmatch(dirr+"/"+child, '*GISExtract.ini'):
replaceStringInFile(findStr,'OutputPath=Z:\\CSV\\',filePath)
os.path.walk(mydir, myfun, 3)
Thanks!
