In this example, you will learn to get the file name from the file path.
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following Python programming topics:
1. Example 1: Using os module
import os
# file name with extension
file_name = os.path.basename('/root/file.ext')
# file name without extension
print(os.path.splitext(file_name)[0])
Output
file
basename() gives the name of the last file/folder of the path, whereas splitext() splits the file name into filename and extension.
import os print(os.path.splitext(file_name))
Output
('file', '.ext')
2. Example 2: Using Path module
from pathlib import Path
print(Path('/root/file.ext').stem)
Output
file
Using stem attribute of Path module, the file name can be extracted as shown above.
It works for python 3.4 and above.
