I am using Google Colab and I fairly new to it, so please pardon my ignorance. I am trying to get the file names of all the frames in a certain folder.

filenames_pics = !ls {PATH}/Pictures

I do this to try to copy all the filenames.

The output I get when i try to print it is

['frame1000.pngtframe15320.pngtframe436.png  frame572.png  frame680.png',

'frame1004.pngtframe15324.pngtframe440.png  frame576.png  frame684.png',

'frame1008.pngtframe1588.pngtframe508.png  frame580.png  frame688.png',

'frame100.pngtframe1592.pngtframe512.png  frame584.png  frame692.png',

'frame1012.pngtframe16432.pngtframe516.png  frame588.png  frame696.png']

What is interesting is that all the first values have this 't' in it with three frame names in it, and this is just driving me mad.

All my file names are in oder

Please help!

It's probably simpler to use the built-in Python os.listdir function.

Here's a full example:

https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1EKhDSUHBfzGdRPxm9gBGPfDGQ2vX5cPe

The key snippet:

# Python code to list the directory.

import os

pictures = os.listdir('Pictures/')

for fname in pictures:

  print (fname)

  print ('full path', os.path.join(os.getcwd(), fname))

You can just replace 't with space to match the pattern

lst=['frame1000.pngtframe15320.pngtframe436.png  frame572.png  frame680.png',

'frame1004.pngtframe15324.pngtframe440.png  frame576.png  frame684.png',

'frame1008.pngtframe1588.pngtframe508.png  frame580.png  frame688.png',

'frame100.pngtframe1592.pngtframe512.png  frame584.png  frame692.png',

'frame1012.pngtframe16432.pngtframe516.png  frame588.png  frame696.png']



l=

import re

for i in lst:

    l.append(re.sub('s{2,}|t',' ',i))

print(l)

Output:

['frame1000.png frame15320.png frame436.png frame572.png frame680.png',

 'frame1004.png frame15324.png frame440.png frame576.png frame684.png',

 'frame1008.png frame1588.png frame508.png frame580.png frame688.png',

 'frame100.png frame1592.png frame512.png frame584.png frame692.png',

 'frame1012.png frame16432.png frame516.png frame588.png frame696.png']
