Manipulating os.path

Question

I'm trying to check to see if a certain file exists, however, the files that exist are saved as .png. Is there a way to use os.path to see if the file exists without the .png part? e.g I want to see if example.png exists so I enter "example" instead of "example.png"

Heres what I have so far:

import os
filepath = str(input("If you want to make a new file, type None otherwise enter the file that it is being written to: "))
 while os.path.isfile(filepath) is False:
 if filepath == "None":
 filepath = functnone()
 break
 print("That filepath doesn't exist")
 filepath = str(input("If you want to make a new file, type None otherwise enter the file that it is being written to: "))

This obviously works if the file is .png but how can I change it so all I would need to do is check the first bit without the .png?

• maurera: Just change your filepath lines, like: filepath = str(input("If you want to make a new file, type None otherwise enter the file that it is being written to: "))+'.png'
• LordLightingXII: Oh I'm an idiot I forgot you could concatenate it in, thank you

Answer 1

You just need to do a string concatenation of your input with '.png'

This would look something like:

import os
filepath = str(input("If you want to make a new file, type None otherwise enter the file that it is being written to: "))+'.png'
 while os.path.isfile(filepath) is False:
 if filepath == "None":
 filepath = functnone()
 break
 print("That filepath doesn't exist")
 filepath = str(input("If you want to make a new file, type None otherwise enter the file that it is being written to: "))+'.png'
