How to get the file names without extension in Python
By Anudeep PulluriHey coder! today, in this article let us learn how to get the file names without extension in Python.
There are many ways where we can get the file names without the extension.
- By using
pathlib.Path.stem()function. - Using
rsplit()function. - Using
os.path.splitext()function. - By using
rpartition()function. All the above-mentioned ways are equally important. Let us go through them one by one.
Using pathlib.Path.stem() function
For this process, firstly we need to import the pathlib module and then we can use the stem() property from it.
So that we will get the file without any extension.
Example Code:
from pathlib import Path dir = 'https://cdn.codespeedy.com/path/to/some/file.txt' print(Path(dir).stem)
Basically, the stem property is used to create the stem plots and it is also used for getting the files without any extension.
Output
/path/to/some/file
Using rsplit() function
We can use the rsplit() function to get the file name without extension in Python.
Example Code:
dir = 'https://cdn.codespeedy.com/path/to/some/file.txt'
print(dir.rsplit('.', 1)[0])In the above code by using the rsplit() function we will exclude the extension in the given “dir”.
Output
path/to/some/file
Using os.path.splitext() function
For this function we need to import the os module.
Moreover, in os.path.splitext() function, we need to pass the “path” as the argument, where path is divided into (root,ext).
This pair will help us in extracting the file name without extension.
Example Code:
import os dir = 'https://cdn.codespeedy.com/path/to/some/file.txt' print(os.path.splitext(dir)[0])
Output
path/to/some/file
By using rpartition() function
Basically, the rpartition() function will split the string into 3 parts, two of them are strings and the other one is seperator.
At first, let us go through through the example code.
Example Code:
dir = 'https://cdn.codespeedy.com/Users/Programs/Directory/program1.csv'
print(directory.rpartition('.')[0])Output
/Users/Programs/Directory/program1
