Installation

Installation using a terminal:

pip install SearchFile

Description

This library is designed to search for files by a given path.

Using

import SearchFile

or

from SearchFile import search

The argument of the search function is the path passed as a string.

For Windows

Also, the directory separator should be written in the form \\, so as not to form control characters (\n, \t, \r, etc.). Examples:

search("C:\\Users")
search("D:\\Downloads\\test.txt")
search("D:\\Git\\cmd")

Linux

The directory separator should be used /. Examples:

search("/home/artem/desktop/")
search("/home/artem/tmp/file1")
search("/home/artem/desktop/tmp/")

Mac OS

The directory separator should be used /. Examples:

search("/Library/Desktop Pictures")
search("/Library/Desktop Pictures/pictures1.jpg")
search("/Library/Desktop Pictures/gallery")

Code

from os import path, listdir


def search(tpath):
    list_file = []
    if path.isdir(tpath):
        try:
            for dirs in listdir(tpath):
                if path.isdir(path.join(tpath, dirs)):
                    search(path.join(tpath, dirs))
                else:
                    list_file.append(path.basename(path.join(tpath, dirs)))
                    print("\n", path.basename(path.join(tpath, dirs)))
        except PermissionError:
            list_file.append(tpath)
            print("\n""Отказано в доступе - " + tpath)
    else:
        if path.isfile(tpath):
            list_file.append(path.basename(tpath))
            print(path.basename(tpath))
        else:
            print("Неверно указан путь!")
    return list_file
