!ls in Jupyter notebook (Python 3)

If I use:

!ls '/Users/martyn/Documents/rawData'

it gives me a list of the files in the required directory.

But I want to paramterize this. I tried:

pathData = '/Users/martyn/Documents/rawData'
!ls pathData

But this gives the error:

ls: pathData: No such file or directory

I can see the problem ... but can't see how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can list the files and folder in any directory using folling command

%ls pathData

for current directory use

%ls

if you want to go one folder back you can use

%ls '../'

For two folders back

%ls '../../'

Maybe you can also use:

from glob import glob

#path_list=glob("put your file path here.extension")
path_list=glob("C:/Users/..../PYTHON/module1/data.jpg")

You can also use:

import subprocess
print(subprocess.check_output(['ls', '-lhS']).decode('utf-8'))

Using only %ls gives you the list in your current directory.

You probably need

!ls {pathData}

or

!ls $pathData
