So i have a python script that takes an argument of a location and runs the script accordingly.
I want to speed up the process so rather than waiting for each run to finish and then entering the second argument (location).
Is there a way to enter all arguments in a text file like so:
C:\a\b
C:\a\c
C:\a\d
and then get python to run each one individually?
Thank you.
you can make a loop and iterate through the file names. So it will be something like this:
with open("arguments.txt") as fp:
for filename in fp:
with open(filename.strip()) as file:
# do stuff with the file
EDIT:
with open("arguments.txt") as fp:
for filename in fp:
filename = filename.strip()
# now you can pass the filename to your function
/ instead of \\ to make it simpleIf i understand your question right, you want to enter arguments that are listed in directory?
For that purpose you can use os with the following commands
from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile, join
mypath = 'C:\a\'
files = [f for f in listdir(mypath) if isfile(join(mypath, f))]
files
>>> ['C:\a\a', 'C:\a\b', 'C:\a\c']
This will give you a list of directory locations.
