Moving all files from one directory to another using Python

Question

I want to move all text files from one folder to another folder using Python. I found this code:

import os, shutil, glob

dst = \'/path/to/dir/Caches/com.app         


        

Answer 1

This should do the trick. Also read the documentation of the shutil module to choose the function that fits your needs (shutil.copy(), shutil.copy2(), shutil.copyfile() or shutil.move()).

import glob, os, shutil

source_dir = '/path/to/dir/with/files' #Path where your files are at the moment
dst = '/path/to/dir/for/new/files' #Path you want to move your files to
files = glob.iglob(os.path.join(source_dir, "*.txt"))
for file in files:
    if os.path.isfile(file):
        shutil.copy2(file, dst)
