Question

IN PYTHON:

Write a program that asks the user for a path to a directory, then updates the names of all the files in the directory that contain the word draft to instead say final

     EX: "term paper (draft).txt" would be renamed "term paper (final).txt"

BONUS (5pts): for any .txt file that your program changes the name of, have your program add a line of text that states "Edited on " followed by the current date to the end of the text in the file that it is editing.

Answer 1

EDITABLE CODE:

from os import rename, listdir

import datetime

#draft process

replace = "draft"

#asking for user input for directory

direct_path=raw_input("please Enter directory of path : ")

filename = listdir(direct_path)

#iteration values

for fname11 in filename:

    #check the condition

    if replace in fname11:

        #open file

            with open(fname,"a") as f1:

                #write function

                f1.write('Edited on : ')

                f1.write(str(datetime.datetime.now()))

                f1.close()

            #rename file name

            rename(fname11, fname11.replace(replace, 'final', 1))
