  • How to get only the last part of a path in Python?

    8 answers




I want to get the substring from a path from the end to a certain character, take for example the following path:



my_path = "/home/Desktop/file.txt"



My intention is to do something like:



my_path.substring(end,"/")


So I can get the name of the file that is located between the end of the string and the character "/", in this case "file.txt"

  • Use pathlib. from pathlib import Path; Path("/home/Desktop/file.txt").name == "file.txt".

The easiest approach, IMHO, would be to split the string:



filename = my_path.split('/')[-1]

    use the os.path.basename for this



    In [1]: import os

    In [2]: os.path.basename('/home/Desktop/file.txt')
    Out[2]: 'file.txt'
