I am trying to find a specific pathname and pass this into os.chdir so I can run a command in that directory. I won't know the exact pathname hence why I have to run the find command. I have tried several ways to do this and each comes with a new error. The code below is one of the ways I have tried, can anyone suggest the best way to do this? Or how to fix this error?
Source Code:
import os
import subprocess
os.system('find ~ -path "*MyDir" > MyDir.txt')
output = subprocess.check_output("cat MyDir.txt", shell=True)
os.chdir(output)
os.system("file * > MyDir/File.txt")
The error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "sub1.py", line 8, in <module>
os.chdir(output)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: b'/Users/MyhomeDir/Desktop/MyDir\n'
I know that directory exists and presume it has something to do with the b' and \\n'. I just don't know what the problem is.
Get rid of the \\n
with strip
:
output = subprocess.check_output("cat MyDir.txt", shell=True).strip()
os.chdir(output)
