oh okay will give that a Try
Did it make the folder "build"
Thank you

Thank you for your help with this
BUT i'm no ay nearer to my problem then when I started on here.
Just such little thing to search on a folder onl and not all of hard rive.
Been to the Python web site BUT coul dbot see any person who could sort it for a fee.
Notto worry will just have to keep looking and trying to sort out why it is not working
Thank you

the main code works all fine and does fined the jpg above 10k BUT it only copies then and not MOVE them also It scanes ALL the hard drive.
I thought it would be simply just to change that line of code to not to search in c:\\ BUT search in c:\fred or what ever. ha ha ha So I thought

is there any where I can go and get this sorted?
I have only just started on python and do not know how to check what is what.
I would be willing to pay a small fee to ge tthis sorted

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I have found out that the jpg.py must be in the director/folder where I running the command prompt from. BUT the code does not run because it does not make the "directory = "buiild"" or move any of the jpg files Hmmmmm I'm getting more and more confused

i have put that file in that folder and still get the error

Why is it searching in the c:\users\test directory ? when from the command prompt I put c:\test

Thank you for getting back to me and spending so much of your time.
I have done this
code
===========================

import shutil
import re
import win32api
import glob
import sys
from PIL import Image
import PIL
from pathlib import Path
#%%
def find_file(root_folder, rex):
for root,dirs,files in os.walk(root_folder):
for filename in glob.glob(root+"/*.jpg", recursive=True):
try:
if os.stat(filename).st_size>12000:
result=filename#
print('Screenshot found')
directory = "buiild"
parent_directory= str(root_folder)
destination = os.path.join(parent_directory, directory)
source=os.path.join(root,filename)
print(source)
try:
os.makedirs(destination, exist_ok = True)
shutil.move(source,destination)
except OSError as error:
pass
else:
break
except PIL.UnidentifiedImageError:
pass
#%%
#drive=win32api.GetLogicalDriveStrings().split('\000')[:-1] ## to select the drive
#if drive[0]=='C:\test': # change here
# find_file(drive[0],re)

import sys
# Program begins here
search_path = 'C:\\' # default search path
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
search_path = sys.argv[1] # get the path name from the command line
==================================================
I run it like
py jpgtest.py c:\test
BUT I get a error like
======================
C:\Users\test>py jpgtest.py c:\test
C:\Users\test\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\\Users\\test\\jpgtest.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
==========================
Why is it searching in the USER folder and NOT what I put on the commaned line LIKE c:\test
Sorry for being so dum, BUT I am a Blond ha ha ha

Hmmmm "program starts"
I thought from the above code that I pasted it would start at the top of the code from

import os

Or have I got that wrong

so do i paste your bit of code below the #% thentake out the other code about c drive etc?

Sorry for my mistake in reply to this problem, did look for the reply but missed it.
Any way
problem I have a code in python that do this
1 look in the c drive then look in all folders
2 look for all jpg files bigger than 10kbytes (file Size)
3 move to a folder on d: drive called buiild
all works fine as is BUT

I want to be able to change from searching ALL folders to a folder called test or a folder that I can put in the code like c:\test here is the code
=================================
import os
import shutil
import re
import win32api
import glob
from PIL import Image
import PIL
from pathlib import Path
#%%
def find_file(root_folder, rex):
for root,dirs,files in os.walk(root_folder):
for filename in glob.glob(root+"/*.jpg", recursive=True):
try:
if os.stat(filename).st_size>10000:
result=filename#
print('Screenshot found')
directory = "buiild"
parent_directory= str(root_folder)
destination = os.path.join(parent_directory, directory)
source=os.path.join(root,filename)
print(source)
try:
os.makedirs(destination, exist_ok = True)
shutil.move(source,destination)
except OSError as error:
pass
else:
break
except PIL.UnidentifiedImageError:
pass
#%%
drive=win32api.GetLogicalDriveStrings().split('\000')[:-1] ## to select the drive
if drive[0]=='C:\\': # change here
find_file(drive[0],re)
=======================================
If you look at the line where it says
if drive[0]=='C:\\': # change here
I want to change that to something like
if drive[0]=='C:\\test': # change here
BUT IT DOES NTO WORK
Hope I have giving you more information this time
Thank you for you time
