如何使用 Python 脚本将某些类型的文件移动到其他目录

Question

My code is:

subprocess.call(["mv", "*.fasta", f"{my_model_dir}/."])

And the error code I got was:

mv: cannot stat '*.fasta': No such file or directory

I tried moving all the fasta files to other directory, but, I got an error message.

I think it's because the '*' is used as a regular expression in Python, so it's not working in this situation. To move files with a Python script to other directory, what should I do?

Answer 1

try subprocess.call(["mv", "\*.fasta", f"{my_model_dir}/."])

Answer 2

You can use the os or shutil library: ( How to move a file in Python? )
As for the files of the same type, you can cycle through them using os and then move them one by one.
