Structure: 20170410.1207.te <- Date (2017 04 10 , 12:07)

There is a company folder that contains several folders. All folders with the above structure which are older than 30 days should be moved to the folder _History (basically archiving them), but at least 5 should be left no matter which timestamp.

As a time value, the string must be taken from the folder name to be converted as a date and compared to today's date minus 30 days.

I also want to create a log file that logs when which folders were moved at what location.

The Code below just shows me the filename, can somebody help me please?

import os
import shutil

for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk("C:Python-ScriptSpielwiese"):
 for file in files:
 print(os.path.join(file))

shutil.move("C:Python-ScriptSpielwiese", "C:Python-ScriptSpielwiese2")

python copy move

The following code will return a list of all files in a given timeframe, sorted by create time on windows. Depending on how you want to filter, I can give you more information. You can than work on the resulting list. One more thing is, that you should use pathlib for windows filepaths, to not run into problems with german paths and unicode escapes in your pathname.

import os
import shutil

found_files = []

for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk("C:Python-ScriptSpielwiese"):
 for file in files:
 name = os.path.join(file)
 create_date = os.path.getctime(file)
 if create_date > some_time: # Put the timeframe here
 found_files.append((name, create_date))
found_files.sort(key=lambda tup: tup[1]) # Sort the files according to creation time
