I'm having trouble with something that seems like it should be simple.
I need to copy a file, say "abc-1.tif" to another directory, but if it's
in there already, I need to transfer it named "abc-2.tif" but I'm going
about it all wrong.
Here's what doesn't work: (I'll add the copy stuff from shutil after
figuring out the basic string manipulation.)
import os
source = r"C:\Source"
target = r"P:\Target"
files = os.listdir(source)
for f in files:
if os.path.isfile(target + "\\" + f): # if it already exists
print f + " exists"
s = f # i'd like a copy to
alter
s = s.replace("-1", "-2")
print "Altered it to be " + s
print source + "\\" + s, target + "\\" + s
else:
print f + " IS NOT THERE YET"
print source + "\\" + f, target + "\\" + f # use the original
