Validate a filename
- Sample Code:
import pathvalidate try: pathvalidate.validate_filename("\0_a*b:c<d>e%f/(g)h+i_0.txt") except ValueError: print("invalid filename!")
- Output:
invalid filename!
Sanitize a filename
- Sample Code:
import pathvalidate as pv print(pv.sanitize_filename("f\\i:l*e?n\"a<m>e|.txt")) print(pv.sanitize_filename("_a*b:c<d>e%f/(g)h+i_0.txt"))
- Output:
_abcde%f(g)h+i_0.txt
Sanitize a filepath
- Sample Code:
import pathvalidate as pv print(pv.sanitize_filepath("fi:l*e/p\"a?t>h|.t<xt")) print(pv.sanitize_filepath("_a*b:c<d>e%f/(g)h+i_0.txt"))
- Output:
file/path.txt _abcde%f/(g)h+i_0.txt
Sanitize a variable name
- Sample Code:
import pathvalidate as pv print(pv.sanitize_python_var_name("_a*b:c<d>e%f/(g)h+i_0.txt"))
- Output:
abcdefghi_0txt
