Please how can i add discord.Option choices as file names and if idk how many files is in the folder

[dawn notch]

something like that (i know this code is wrong) :

def addchoice(filename, ctx, choices) :
    folder = pathlib.Path(f"users_data/{ctx.guild.id}")
    for filename in folder.iterdir() :
        if filename.is_file() :
            choices.append("name")
            
@bot.slash_command(name = "makeinvoice", description = "CMD used to make a new invoice for a customer")
async def setfee(ctx,   customer : discord.Option(discord.Member, "Select here the customer", required = True),
                        cost : discord.Option(int or float, 'Write Here The transaction cost (without including extra fees !)', required = True),
                        paymentmethod : discord.Option(str, 'Select Here The Payment Method used by customer', choices = addchoice(), required = True)) :
    
    
    await ctx.respond("noice")

i think you want autocomplete instead

[dawn notch]

what does it mean ?

[calm bay]

regular choices are hard set and can't change without manually being updated

autocomplete is a system that lets you dynamically load presets for users to choose, but they aren't forced to pick so you should validate inside the command

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

oh

[dawn notch]

@calm bay like that ? 😄

[calm bay]

Probably

Just give it a go

[dawn notch]

there a little problem

[calm bay]

do ctx.interaction.guild

AutoCompleteContext is a bit different from others https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.AutocompleteContext

[dawn notch]

like that ?

folder = pathlib.Path(f"users_data/{ctx.interaction.guild.id}")

[calm bay]

mhm

[dawn notch]

??

@calm bay could you correct it if it's wrong pls ?

[calm bay]

just... give it a go

if you run into errors it's fine to post them here, but it's better for you to trial and error yourself and see what solutions to come up with

[dawn notch]

okok

@calm bay hm ?

async def Choices(ctx : discord.AutocompleteContext):
    folder = pathlib.Path(f"users_data/{ctx.interaction.guild.id}")
    filename =  folder.iterdir()
    return [file for file in filename if file.is_file()]

[calm bay]

convert to string?

like str(file) for file in filename...

[dawn notch]

okok

it's working tysm

[calm bay]

allgood

[dawn notch]

@calm bay sorry for disturbing you again

i just want to know how to get the files names without path or extension

[calm bay]

You could just split?

Like split along slash and select last item with -1

It's probably built into pathlib if you read the doc but I can't right now

[dawn notch]

ah

[dawn notch]

@calm bay something like that ?py async def Choices(ctx : discord.AutocompleteContext): folder = pathlib.Path(f"users_data/{ctx.interaction.guild.id}") filedir = folder.iterdir() [str(file) = for file in filedir if file.is_file()] file = file[0].split('/') return file

[calm bay]

not quite... you're doing it in the wrong order

[dawn notch]

hm

[calm bay]

split will return a list of strings across your splits, so e.g.py "folder/file.txt".split("/") would return ["folder", "file.txt"]

[dawn notch]

ohhh okk

could you give me the right syntax pls ?

[calm bay]

what you want to do is apply this to every item in filedir and also select the last item there

you're already doing list comprehension, so you just need to add a bit more to it

something like str(file).split("/")[-1]

[dawn notch]

it's abstract for me :// 😂

could you just give me syntax 🤣

[calm bay]

that's what it is though...

[dawn notch]

something like that ?
