Python Glob without the whole path - only the filename

Is there a way I can use glob on a directory, to get files with a specific extension, but only the filename itself, not the whole path?

Use os.path.basename(path) to get the filename.

This might help someone:

names = [os.path.basename(x) for x in glob.glob('/your_path')]

I keep rewriting the solution for relative globbing (esp. when I need to add items to a zipfile) - this is what it usually ends up looking like.

# Function
def rel_glob(pattern, rel):
"""glob.glob but with relative path
"""
for v in glob.glob(os.path.join(rel, pattern)):
yield v[len(rel):].lstrip("/")


# Use
# For example, when you have files like: 'dir1/dir2/*.py'
for p in rel_glob("dir2/*.py", "dir1"):
# do work
pass

os.path.basename works for me.

Here is Code example:

import sys,glob
import os


expectedDir = sys.argv[1]                                                    ## User input for directory where files to search


for fileName_relative in glob.glob(expectedDir+"**/*.txt",recursive=True):       ## first get full file name with directores using for loop


print("Full file name with directories: ", fileName_relative)


fileName_absolute = os.path.basename(fileName_relative)                 ## Now get the file name with os.path.basename


print("Only file name: ", fileName_absolute)

Output :

Full file name with directories:  C:\Users\erinksh\PycharmProjects\EMM_Test2\venv\Lib\site-packages\wheel-0.33.6.dist-info\top_level.txt
Only file name:  top_level.txt

map(os.path.basename, glob.glob("your/path"))

Returns an iterable with all the file names and extensions.

If you are looking for CSV file:

file = [os.path.basename(x) for x in glob.glob(r'C:\Users\rajat.prakash\Downloads//' + '*.csv')]

If you are looking for EXCEL file:

file = [os.path.basename(x) for x in glob.glob(r'C:\Users\rajat.prakash\Downloads//' + '*.xlsx')]

for f in glob.glob(gt_path + "/*.png"):  # find all png files
exc_name = f.split('/')[-1].split(',')[0]

Then the exc_name is like myphoto.png

None of the existing answers mention using the new pathlib module, which is what I was searching for, so I'll add a new answer here.

Path.glob produces Path objects containing the full path including any directories. If you only need the file names, use the Path.name property.

If you find yourself frequently converting between pathlib and os.path, check out this handy table converting functions between the two libraries.

Or using pathlib:

from pathlib import Path


dir_URL = Path("your_directory_URL") # e.g. Path("/tmp")
filename_list = [file.name for file in dir_URL.glob("your_pattern")]

Use glob.glob("*.filetype") to get a list of all files with complete path and use os.path.basename(list_item) to remove the extra path and retain only the filename.

Here is an example:

import glob
a=glob.glob("*.pkl")

It returns a list with the complete path of each file ending with .pkl

Now you can remove the path information and extract only the filename for an list item using:

import os
b=os.path.basename(a[0])
# This is an example to extract filename for only one list item

If you need to create an entire list with only the filename:

bb=[os.path.basename(list_item) for list_item in a]
