🔒 Regex/Substring of file paths

[vast sedge]

I have a list of file paths for my images containing

['.../confocal/human_retina/TileScan 003_TileScan_001_s0_z00_ch00.tif', ...]

is there a way where i can get only file paths/ strings containing only s0_z{doesnt matter about the number here}_ch01?

!e

import re

paths = ['.../confocal/human_retina/TileScan 003_TileScan_001_s0_z00_ch00.tif', 'some/other/path/...']
print([p for p in paths if re.search(r's0_z', p)])

finally

heck I could have written "s0_z" in p

Aye. There's the constraint the OP probably means in the basename and to have _ch01 after that.

🤷

Maybe using this regexp: s0_z\d+_ch01

[lapis shuttle]

[p for p in paths if re.search(r's0_z', pathlib.Path(p).name)] takes care of some of that

[vast sedge]

yes this as well

[vast sedge]
