I have the following:
selstim = '/Users/folder1/folder2/folder9/Pictures/Set_1/Pos/43et1.jpg'
I need to end up with:
43et1
I tried:
selstim.split('/')[-1]
Which produced:
43et1.jpg
I also tried:
selstim.split('/,.')[-1]
That doesn't get the desired result.
Is there a way to also get rid of the '.jpg' in the same line of code?
You may just find it easier to use pathlib (if you have Python 3.4+) and let it separate the path components for you:
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> p = Path('/Users/folder1/folder2/folder9/Pictures/Set_1/Pos/43et1.jpg')
>>> p.stem
43et1
Implementation using only the standard os library.
from os import path
filePath = path.basename("/Users/folder1/folder2/folder9/Pictures/Set_1/Pos/43et1.jpg")
print(filePath) # 43et1.jpg
print(path.splitext(filePath)[0]) # 43et1, index at [1] is the file extension. (.jpg)
All in one line:
path.splitext(path.basename(FILE_PATH))[0]
