I did discover this, too. I wanted to finish with the code at hand
before I started experimenting

All right, I've got it! This script will move all files of
subdirectories into cwd.

Hello,
: I use this one-liner for moving photos nested a single folder deep
: into the top-level folder:
:
: find * -name "*.jpg" | awk -F/ '{print "mv "$0,$1"-"$2}' | sh
I would add a few different features to this 'find' to make it a bit
more

I was testing, and it was not longer needed. It was returning what I
expected. Note that print can only be used to test that the value

I did read that, thank you. That is why I asked how to override, as I
understood that Python was functioning exactly as intended.

You could miss out the awk and use the exec option of find...
Or miss out the shell and use the system() function

As KDE/Dolphin runs on windows this is even more important as it will
sort out the directory separator (/ vs \) for you.
Some added reading on os.path can be found on Doug's

os.rename needs the oldname and the
I'm really stuck here. I need move all files in subdirectories of cwd
to cwd. So that, for instance, if we are in ~/photos then this file:
~/photos/a/b/file with space.jpg
...will move to this location:
~/photos/file with space.jpg
This is what I've come up with:

You'll definitely want to explore the os module, part of Python's built-in
standard library.

I use this one-liner for moving photos nested a single folder deep
into the top-level folder:
find * -name "*.jpg" | awk -F/ '{print "mv "$0,$1"-"$2}' | sh
I would like to expand this into an application that handles arbitrary
nesting and smart rename, so I figure that Python is the language that
25 matches
