在Python中从文件名提取扩展名

Is there a function to extract the extension from a filename?

Yes. Use os.path.splitext(see Python 2.X documentation or Python 3.X documentation):

>>> import os
>>> filename, file_extension = os.path.splitext('/path/to/somefile.ext')
>>> filename
'/path/to/somefile'
>>> file_extension
'.ext'

Unlike most manual string-splitting attempts, os.path.splitext will correctly treat /a/b.c/d as having no extension instead of having extension .c/d, and it will treat .bashrc as having no extension instead of having extension .bashrc:

>>> os.path.splitext('/a/b.c/d')
('/a/b.c/d', '')
>>> os.path.splitext('.bashrc')
('.bashrc', '')

import os.path
extension = os.path.splitext(filename)[1]

New in version 3.4.

import pathlib

print(pathlib.Path('yourPath.example').suffix) # '.example'

I’m surprised no one has mentioned yet, pathlib IS awesome!

If you need all the suffixes (eg if you have a .tar.gz), .suffixes will return a list of them!

import os.path
extension = os.path.splitext(filename)[1][1:]

To get only the text of the extension, without the dot.

One option may be splitting from dot:

>>> filename = "example.jpeg"
>>> filename.split(".")[-1]
'jpeg'

No error when file doesn’t have an extension:

>>> "filename".split(".")[-1]
'filename'

But you must be careful:

>>> "png".split(".")[-1]
'png'    # But file doesn't have an extension

worth adding a lower in there so you don’t find yourself wondering why the JPG’s aren’t showing up in your list.

os.path.splitext(filename)[1][1:].strip().lower()

Any of the solutions above work, but on linux I have found that there is a newline at the end of the extension string which will prevent matches from succeeding. Add the strip() method to the end. For example:

import os.path
extension = os.path.splitext(filename)[1][1:].strip() 

With splitext there are problems with files with double extension (e.g. file.tar.gz, file.tar.bz2, etc..)

>>> fileName, fileExtension = os.path.splitext('/path/to/somefile.tar.gz')
>>> fileExtension 
'.gz'

but should be: .tar.gz

The possible solutions are here

You can find some great stuff in pathlib module (available in python 3.x).

import pathlib
x = pathlib.PurePosixPath("C:\\Path\\To\\File\\myfile.txt").suffix
print(x)

# Output 
'.txt'

Although it is an old topic, but i wonder why there is none mentioning a very simple api of python called rpartition in this case:

to get extension of a given file absolute path, you can simply type:

filepath.rpartition('.')[-1]

example:

path = '/home/jersey/remote/data/test.csv'
print path.rpartition('.')[-1]

will give you: ‘csv’

Just join all pathlib suffixes.

>>> x = 'file/path/archive.tar.gz'
>>> y = 'file/path/text.txt'
>>> ''.join(pathlib.Path(x).suffixes)
'.tar.gz'
>>> ''.join(pathlib.Path(y).suffixes)
'.txt'

Surprised this wasn’t mentioned yet:

import os
fn = '/some/path/a.tar.gz'

basename = os.path.basename(fn)  # os independent
Out[] a.tar.gz

base = basename.split('.')[0]
Out[] a

ext = '.'.join(basename.split('.')[1:])   # <-- main part

# if you want a leading '.', and if no result `None`:
ext = '.' + ext if ext else None
Out[] .tar.gz

Benefits:

• Works as expected for anything I can think of
• No modules
• No regex
• Cross-platform
• Easily extendible (e.g. no leading dots for extension, only last part of extension)

As function:

def get_extension(filename):
    basename = os.path.basename(filename)  # os independent
    ext = '.'.join(basename.split('.')[1:])
    return '.' + ext if ext else None

You can use a split on a filename:

f_extns = filename.split(".")
print ("The extension of the file is : " + repr(f_extns[-1]))

This does not require additional library

filename='ext.tar.gz'
extension = filename[filename.rfind('.'):]

This is a direct string representation techniques : I see a lot of solutions mentioned, but I think most are looking at split. Split however does it at every occurrence of “.” . What you would rather be looking for is partition.

string = "folder/to_path/filename.ext"
extension = string.rpartition(".")[-1]

Another solution with right split:

# to get extension only

s = 'test.ext'

if '.' in s: ext = s.rsplit('.', 1)[1]

# or, to get file name and extension

def split_filepath(s):
    """
    get filename and extension from filepath 
    filepath -> (filename, extension)
    """
    if not '.' in s: return (s, '')
    r = s.rsplit('.', 1)
    return (r[0], r[1])

Even this question is already answered I’d add the solution in Regex.

>>> import re
>>> file_suffix = ".*(\..*)"
>>> result = re.search(file_suffix, "somefile.ext")
>>> result.group(1)
'.ext'

A true one-liner, if you like regex. And it doesn’t matter even if you have additional “.” in the middle

import re

file_ext = re.search(r"\.([^.]+)$", filename).group(1)

This is The Simplest Method to get both Filename & Extension in just a single line.

fName, ext = 'C:/folder name/Flower.jpeg'.split('/')[-1].split('.')

>>> print(fName)
Flower
>>> print(ext)
jpeg

Unlike other solutions, you don’t need to import any package for this.

For funsies… just collect the extensions in a dict, and track all of them in a folder. Then just pull the extensions you want.

import os

search = {}

for f in os.listdir(os.getcwd()):
    fn, fe = os.path.splitext(f)
    try:
        search[fe].append(f)
    except:
        search[fe]=[f,]

extensions = ('.png','.jpg')
for ex in extensions:
    found = search.get(ex,'')
    if found:
        print(found)

try this:

files = ['file.jpeg','file.tar.gz','file.png','file.foo.bar','file.etc']
pen_ext = ['foo', 'tar', 'bar', 'etc']

for file in files: #1
    if (file.split(".")[-2] in pen_ext): #2
        ext =  file.split(".")[-2]+"."+file.split(".")[-1]#3
    else:
        ext = file.split(".")[-1] #4
    print (ext) #5

1. get all file name inside the list
2. splitting file name and check the penultimate extension, is it in the pen_ext list or not?
3. if yes then join it with the last extension and set it as the file’s extension
4. if not then just put the last extension as the file’s extension
5. and then check it out

# try this, it works for anything, any length of extension
# e.g www.google.com/downloads/file1.gz.rs -> .gz.rs

import os.path

class LinkChecker:

    @staticmethod
    def get_link_extension(link: str)->str:
        if link is None or link == "":
            return ""
        else:
            paths = os.path.splitext(link)
            ext = paths[1]
            new_link = paths[0]
            if ext != "":
                return LinkChecker.get_link_extension(new_link) + ext
            else:
                return ""

def NewFileName(fichier):
    cpt = 0
    fic , *ext =  fichier.split('.')
    ext = '.'.join(ext)
    while os.path.isfile(fichier):
        cpt += 1
        fichier = '{0}-({1}).{2}'.format(fic, cpt, ext)
    return fichier

name_only=file_name[:filename.index(".")

That will give you the file name up to the first “.”, which would be the most common.
