This program moves files such as "*.png" and "*.gif" in a folder to the other folder.

I'm publishing a "code snippet" tag to show what I've made in batches and small code that I think I can use.

Tested Environment

• python 2.7.15, 3.8.5

code

import os
import shutil
import glob

def exmove( srcdir, destdir, srcfiles ):
	for fpattern in srcfiles:
		globsearch = os.path.join( srcdir, fpattern )
		for fpath in glob.glob(globsearch):
			shutil.move(fpath, destdir)

# RUN
exmove( "./from", "./to", ["*.jpg", "*.gif"] )

In this case, the code will move all files with jpg and gif extensions in the "from" directory under the current directory to the "to" directory under the current directory.

The usage here.

exmove( SOURCE DIR , DEST DIR , Array of FilePatterns )

When you call the exmove function, you can move the file from "./from" directory to "./to" directory.

thas's all
