前言:

需求:将(MM-DD-YYYYY)改成(DD-MM-YYYY)

项目:


  • 检查当前工作目录的所有文件名,寻找美国风格的日期
  • 如果找到,将改文件改名,交换月份和日期的位置,使之成为欧洲风格

具体实现:


  • 创建一个正则表达式,可以识别到没过风格日期的文本模式
  • 调用os.listdir(),找出工作目录中的所有文件
  • 循环遍历每隔文件名,涌shutil.move()对改文件改名

#! python3
# renameDates.py - Renames filenames with American MM-DD-YYYY date format
# to European DD-MM-YYYY.

import shutil, os, re

# Create a regex that matches files with the American date format.
datePattern = re.compile(r"""^(.*?) # all text before the date
((0|1)?\d)- # one or two digits for the month
((0|1|2|3)?\d)- # one or two digits for the day
((19|20)\d\d) # four digits for the year (must start with 19 or 20)
(.*?)$ # all text after the date
""", re.VERBOSE)

# Loop over the files in the working directory.
for amerFilename in os.listdir('.'):
mo = datePattern.search(amerFilename)

# Skip files without a date.
if mo == None:
continue

# Get the different parts of the filename.
beforePart = mo.group(1)
monthPart = mo.group(2)
dayPart = mo.group(4)
yearPart = mo.group(6)
afterPart = mo.group(8)

# Form the European-style filename.
euroFilename = beforePart + dayPart + '-' + monthPart + '-' + yearPart + afterPart

# Get the full, absolute file paths.
absWorkingDir = os.path.abspath('.')
amerFilename = os.path.join(absWorkingDir, amerFilename)
euroFilename = os.path.join(absWorkingDir, euroFilename)

# Rename the files.
print('Renaming "%s" to "%s"...' % (amerFilename, euroFilename))
#shutil.move(amerFilename, euroFilename) # uncomment after testing


扩展:


  • 为文件名添加前缀,诸如添加test_,将eggs.txt改成test_eggs.txt
  • 更改日期风格
  • 删除文件名中的0,如asd001.txt
