Project description
Summary
pathvalidate is a Python library to sanitize/validate a string such as filenames/file-paths/etc.
Features
- Sanitize/Validate a string as a:
file name
file path
Multibyte character support
Examples
Sanitize a filename
- Sample Code:
from pathvalidate import sanitize_filename fname = "fi:l*e/p\"a?t>h|.t<xt" print("{} -> {}".format(fname, sanitize_filename(fname))) fname = "\0_a*b:c<d>e%f/(g)h+i_0.txt" print("{} -> {}".format(fname, sanitize_filename(fname)))
- Output:
fi:l*e/p"a?t>h|.t<xt -> filepath.txt _a*b:c<d>e%f/(g)h+i_0.txt -> _abcde%f(g)h+i_0.txt
Sanitize a filepath
- Sample Code:
from pathvalidate import sanitize_filepath fpath = "fi:l*e/p\"a?t>h|.t<xt" print("{} -> {}".format(fpath, sanitize_filepath(fpath))) fpath = "\0_a*b:c<d>e%f/(g)h+i_0.txt" print("{} -> {}".format(fpath, sanitize_filepath(fpath)))
- Output:
fi:l*e/p"a?t>h|.t<xt -> file/path.txt _a*b:c<d>e%f/(g)h+i_0.txt -> _abcde%f/(g)h+i_0.txt
Validate a filename
- Sample Code:
import sys from pathvalidate import ValidationError, validate_filename try: validate_filename("fi:l*e/p\"a?t>h|.t<xt") except ValidationError as e: print(e, file=sys.stderr)
- Output:
invalid char found: invalid-char=':, \*, /, ", \?, >, \|, <', value='fi:l*e/p"a?t>h|.t<xt', reason=ErrorReason.INVALID_CHARACTER
Check a filename
- Sample Code:
from pathvalidate import is_valid_filename, sanitize_filename fname = "fi:l*e/p\"a?t>h|.t<xt" print("is_valid_filename('{}') return {}".format(fname, is_valid_filename(fname))) sanitized_fname = sanitize_filename(fname) print("is_valid_filename('{}') return {}".format(sanitized_fname, is_valid_filename(sanitized_fname)))
- Output:
is_valid_filename('fi:l*e/p"a?t>h|.t<xt') return False is_valid_filename('filepath.txt') return True
