get file path with python code while .absolute() not fit my answer
Question:
I’m using Linux system, extract USB file path using python code.
extract USB path only
from
sdb1 8:17 1 3.8G 0 part /media/joy/DATA
sdg1 8:97 1 29.4G 0 part /media/joy/DATA2
sdh1 8:113 1 1.9G 0 part /media/joy/DATA1
to my expect output:
/media/joy/DATA
/media/joy/DATA2
/media/joy/DATA1
.absolute(file_name) is getting /home/joy/file_name which is not what I want as /media/joy/DATA
The way I came up ,
I tried to called the linux command lsblk in paython , and use regular expression with key word "/media/joy" to filter the desire path, somehow I’m stock
tried code:
import os
import subprocess
a = subprocess.check_output(['lsblk'])
str_a = str(a)
# I split by "n" cause that in erery line of str_a
str_a_splited = str_a.split("n")
USB_info = [s for s in str_a_splited if "/media/joy" in s]
print("= = = = ")
print(USB_info)
and here is the output from tried code:

Answers:
I changed your code a little and it works now as you expected:
import os
import subprocess
a = subprocess.check_output(['lsblk'])
# I split by "n" cause that in erery line of str_a
str_a_splited = a.split("n")
USB_info = [s for s in str_a_splited if "/media/" in s]
found_path = []
for x in USB_info:
for s in x.split(" "):
if "/media/" in s:
found_path.append(s)
print("= = = = ")
print(found_path)
and you don’t need to convert the output of subprocess to str since it is in str format by default.I tested this on my PC and worked fine.
I add .decode() in case TypeError pop out
import os
import subprocess
a = subprocess.check_output(['lsblk'])
# I split by "n" cause that in erery line of str_a
str_a_splited = a.decode().split("n")
USB_info = [s for s in str_a_splited if "/media/" in s]
found_path = []
for x in USB_info:
for s in x.split(" "):
if "/media/" in s:
found_path.append(s)
print("= = = = ")
print(found_path)
