Need help: Compiling Python-Code &In-Reply-To=

[CRAIG DALTON]

Hi,

I'm looking to append several text files in one director and out put the combined files into another director. I'm new to Python and just can't get it to work. So far I've been able to create a file in the desired directory but it isn't pulling any of the data in the originating directory. Could please look at my code and tell me what I'm doing wrong.

import os,shutil
f=open("c:\\output\\testing1.txt","a+")
for r,d,fi in os.walk("c:\\test"):
for files in fi:
if files.endswith(".txt"):
g=open(os.path.join(r+,files))
shutil.copyfileobj(g,f)
g.close()
f.close()

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

No real reason to get shutil involved in this.

....except memory usage; shutil.copyfileobj reads the input in chunks, but
your version reads the whole file in memory. Depending on the file sizes,
this might be an issue.
