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 filenumutilsUsage
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: 2If 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
