Currently, I write a python code in WIN, i’d like to run the command line code

move *.bin tmp

but only one file was removed.

How can I make popen to finish this task?

Best wish!

Answer 1

I suggest using Pythons own modules instead of Windows tools (as also Patrick suggest). I think something like this will work:

import glob
import shutil

dest = 'c:/tmp/'

# Get all the files as a list with glob
files = glob.glob('c:/files/*.bin')

# move each file seperatly
for filename in files:
    shutil.move(filename, dest)

Or to make it short:

import glob, shutil
for f in glob.glob('c:/files/*.bin'):
    shutil.move(f, 'c:/tmp/')
