Extracting extension from filename in Python
You can extract the file extension from a file name in Python by using the os.path module. Here's an example of how you can do it:
import os
# Get the file name
filename = "document.txt"
# Extract the file extension
extension = os.path.splitext(filename)[1]
# Print the file extension
print(extension)This will output .txt, which is the file extension.
Alternatively, you can use the pathlib module to extract the file extension. Here's an example of how you can do it:
from pathlib import Path
# Get the file name
filename = "document.txt"
# Extract the file extension
extension = Path(filename).suffix
# Print the file extension
print(extension)This will also output .txt, which is the file extension.
