I'm working on a script that renames torrent folders to something more readable... On some occassions I get the error above.
I am really out of ideas what is wrong. I tried: os.listdir().sort() == originalFolderNames.sort(): and it came out as true so what I am trying to rename and what is in the directory matches 100%.
Here is the code that causes this:
def renameFolders(self, oldAndNewFolderNames):
foldersToRename = oldAndNewFolderNames[1]
originalFolderNames = oldAndNewFolderNames[0]
dirList = os.listdir()
# Rename folders
for d in dirList:
for i in range(len(foldersToRename)):
if d == foldersToRename[i]:
try:
if foldersToRename[i] != "None":
os.rename(r"{}".format(str(originalFolderNames[i])), r"{}".format(str(foldersToRename[i])))
except Exception as Err:
print(Err)
print("Couldn't rename: {} TO ==> {}".format(originalFolderNames[i], foldersToRename[i]))
break
return print("Done!")
The error always occurs on the same two folders others work fine.
I really hope someone can help me with this. Others that got simmilar errors had illegal characters or didn't put in a raw string so things like "\" caused exceptions. I don't think this is the case with my script.
Tnx.
File names can't have illegal characters. List of illegal chars for linux and windows (only "/" is illegal on linux)
forbiddenChars = [">", "<", "/", ":" '"', "\\", "|", "?", "*"]
