filenumutils

Python tools for finding last file or folder number in a directory based on extension, prefix or suffix.

Installation

Simply install using pip

pip install filenumutils

Usage

If your current directory has the following files and folders

• folders: [train_00, train_01, train_02, train_03, train_04]
• files: [model_00.py, model_01.py, model_02.py]

Get Last Folder / File Number

from filenumutils import get_last_folder_number, get_last_file_number
get_last_folder_number(prefix="model_")       # Output: 4
get_last_file_number(prefix="train_")         # Output: 2

If no such file/folder with given prefix exists, it outputs -1

Get Next Folder / File Name

from filenumutils import get_next_file, get_next_folder
get_next_file(prefix="model_")                      # Output: model_03.py
get_next_folder(prefix="train_", create=True)       # Output: train_05 (Folder is created)
get_next_folder(prefix="test_", create=True)        # Output: test_00 (Folder is created)

If no such folder with given prefix exists, it outputs prefix_00.

Also, it will automatically stick to the existing numbering pattern. For eg, if the folders were [train_0000, train_0001],

get_next_folder(prefix="train_", create=True)       # Output: train_0000 (Folder is created)

More Options

Attribute	Default	Description
path	Current Directory	Do operations in the given directory
prefix	""	Match only files with given prefix
suffix	""	Match only files with given extension/suffix
default_number_width	2	When no numbering pattern is found, output number will be default_number_width digits
