i am trying to look for a files in directory , copy their entire windows path into a list and copy the those files on the temp folder. with the below code i am only able to copy the file name. i have tried using pathlib module but it keeps throwing up a name error when i run it in command prompt . any suggestions would be helpful .
I prefer to use the pathlib and shutil modules , but it doesnt run from command prompt and throws a name error .
Any suggestions would be helpful
def searching_all_files(directory):
dirpath = directory
#assert(dirpath.is_dir())
file_list = []
temp= os.path.abspath(r'C:\Temp')
for x in os.listdir(dirpath):
if 'Settlement_Report' in os.path.basename(x):
s=os.path.basename(x)
file_list.append(s)
shutil.copyfile(os.path.join(dirpath,os.path.basename(x)),os.path.join(temp,os.path.basename(x)))
return file_list
p=r"some path in single slash format"
path = os.path.abspath(p)
files = searching_all_files(path)
error -
