I have a code that detects language of files from a directory. But while mentioning about the type of extension how can I detect language of all file extensions (example:- .pdf, .xlsx, .docx etc etc) in the directory and not only .txt files which is mentioned in the code. Attaching code for reference. I would like to know how this can be done using glob and os.walk.
import csv
from fnmatch import fnmatch
try:
from langdetect import detect
except ImportError:
detect = lambda _: '<dunno>'
import os
rootdir = '.' # current directory
extension = '.txt'
file_pattern = '*' + extension
with open('output.csv', 'w', newline='', encoding='utf-8') as outfile:
csvwriter = csv.writer(outfile)
for dirpath, subdirs, filenames in os.walk(os.path.abspath(rootdir)):
for filename in filenames:
if fnmatch(filename, file_pattern):
lang = detect(os.path.join(dirpath, filename))
csvwriter.writerow([dirpath, filename, lang])
IIUC you could replace your fnmatch
check by
eoi = ['*.pdf', '*.xlsx', '*.docx', '*.txt'] # extensions of interest list
if any(fnmatch(file, ext) for ext in eoi):
lang = ...
