Using string concatenation to produce file paths is errorprone. Have a look at the path manipulation functions that the os.path module has to offer. > if not os.path.exists(newfolders): > os.makedirs(newfolders) > print newfolders dir is just the directory name. You get the source directory with sourcepath = os.path.join(path, dir) Now you have to remove the start of the path with relativepath = os.path.relpath(sourcepath, inputpath) Finally add the outputpath: newdir = os.path.join(outputpath, relativepath) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
