Hi all
I'm trying use regex to match image formats:
Perhaps you should use a simpler way.
def isimagefile(filename):
ext = os.path.splitext(filename)[1]
return (ext.lower() in
('.jpg', '.jpeg', '.gif', '.png', '.tif', '.tiff'))
def findImageFiles():
someFiles = [
"sdfinsf.png","dsiasd.dgf","wecn.GIF","iewijiefi.jPg","iasjasd.py"]
return filter(isimagefile, someFiles)
$ python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 25, in <module>
main()
File "test.py", line 21, in main
findImageFiles()
File "test.py", line 14, in findImageFiles
findImages = imageRx(someFiles)
TypeError: '_sre.SRE_Pattern' object is not callable
The error is the line
findImages = imageRx(someFiles)
You don't call regexes, you have to use the match or search methods. And
you can't call it on a list of file names, you have to call it on each
file name separately.
# untested
for filename in someFiles:
mo = imageRx.search(filename)
if mo is None:
# no match
pass
else:
print filename
I incorporated this into my code:
def isimagefile(filename):
ext = os.path.splitext(filename)[1]
return (ext.lower() in
('.jpg', '.jpeg', '.gif', '.png', '.tif', '.tiff'))
And it's working fine now. Thanks! :-)
