I have a string that contains the path to a file, how to change the path

I use google clould storage api. I get the filename like this 'pdf/randomPdf.pdf'

I use 

new_filename = Path(file_name).stem + ".txt"

I do this so I can change the name of the extension to .txt

Now I want to change the 'pdf/...' to 'text/...'

How I can do it without split?

Use the string built-in method replace().

newFilename = filename.replace('pdf/', 'text/').replace('.pdf', '.txt')

These answers 1 and 2 seem relevant to your question -

You can use os.path.splitext(filename) to extract everything but file extension - pdf/pdfFile in your case.

You can use os.path.dirname(filename) to extract the head - pdf in your case.

You can use os.path.basename(filename) to extract the tail - pdfFile.pdf in your case.

Have you tried os.rename()?

Just do

os.rename("pdf/pdfFile.pdf", "text/pdfFile.txt")
