Here’s what the program does:
- It searches all the filenames in the current working directory for American-style dates (MM-DD-YYYY)
- When one is found, it renames the file to make it ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD)
This means the code will need to do the following:
- Create a regex that can identify the text pattern of American-style dates
- Call
os.listdir()to find all the files in the working directory - Loop over each filename, using the regex to check whether it has a date
- If it has a date, rename the file with
shutil.move()
