import os
def rename[directory]:
for name in os.listdir[directory]:
print[name]
os.rename[name,"0"+name]

path = input["Enter the file path"]
rename[path]

I want to rename every file in a certain directory so that it adds a 0 to the beginning of the file name, however when I try to run the code it comes up with this error:


[FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: '0.jpg' -> '00.jpg']


I'm sure that there is a file in there named 0.jpg and I'm not sure what the problem is.

As written you're looking for a file named 0.jpg in the working directory. You want to be looking in the directory you pass in.

So instead do:


os.rename[os.path.join[directory,name],
os.path.join[directory,'0'+name]]
