Python: Join one or more path components together and split a given path in directory and file
13. Join and Split Path Components
Write a Python program to join one or more path components together and split a given path into directories and files.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import os
path = r'g:\\testpath\\a.txt'
print("Original path:")
print(path)
print("\nDir and file name of the said path:")
print(os.path.split(path))
print("\nJoin one or more path components together:")
print(os.path.join(r'g:\\testpath\\','a.txt'))
Sample Output:
Original path:
g:\\testpath\\a.txt
Dir and file name of the said path:
('', 'g:\\\\testpath\\\\a.txt')
Join one or more path components together:
g:\\testpath\\/a.txt

- Write a Python program to join multiple path components using os.path.join() and then split the resulting path into its constituent parts using os.path.split().
- Write a Python script to construct a file path from a list of directories and a file name, then separate and print each component.
- Write a Python function that takes individual path segments, joins them into a complete path, and then returns a list of directories from that path.
- Write a Python program to create a normalized path from given components and then split it into directory and file portions using os.path.normpath() and os.path.split().
