python read all files in a directory code example

Example 1: list files in directory python

import os
print(os.listdir('/path/to/folder/to/list'))

Example 2: python read all text files in directory

import os
from re import search

arr = os.listdir()
strtxt = ".txt"
for txtfile in arr:
    if txtfile.__contains__(strtxt):
        fileObject = open(txtfile, "r")
        data = fileObject.read()
        print(data)

Example 3: list of files in python

import os
def fn():       # 1.Get file names from directory
    file_list=os.listdir(r"C:\Users")
    print (file_list)

 #2.To rename files
fn()

Example 4: python get all file names in a dir

from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile, join
onlyfiles = [f for f in listdir(mypath) if isfile(join(mypath, f))]

Example 5: python script to read all file names in a folder

import os

def get_filepaths(directory):
    """
    This function will generate the file names in a directory 
    tree by walking the tree either top-down or bottom-up. For each 
    directory in the tree rooted at directory top (including top itself), 
    it yields a 3-tuple (dirpath, dirnames, filenames).
    """
    file_paths = []  # List which will store all of the full filepaths.

    # Walk the tree.
    for root, directories, files in os.walk(directory):
        for filename in files:
            # Join the two strings in order to form the full filepath.
            filepath = os.path.join(root, filename)
            file_paths.append(filepath)  # Add it to the list.

    return file_paths  # Self-explanatory.

# Run the above function and store its results in a variable.   
full_file_paths = get_filepaths("/Users/johnny/Desktop/TEST")

Example 6: list files python

#get all .txt files in my_path
import glob
my_path='/home/folder/'
files=glob.glob(my_path+'*.txt')
