Python: Divide a path on the extension separator

Python Basic: Exercise-106 with Solution

Write a Python program to divide a path by the extension separator.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Import the 'os.path' module for working with file paths.
import os.path
# Iterate through a list of example file paths.
for path in ['test.txt', 'filename', '/user/system/test.txt', '/', '']:
    # Print the file path and its corresponding file extension using 'os.path.splitext()'.
    print('"%s" :' % path, os.path.splitext(path))

Sample Output:

"test.txt" : ('test', '.txt')                                      
"filename" : ('filename', '')                                      
"/user/system/test.txt" : ('/user/system/test', '.txt')            
"/" : ('/', '')                                                    
"" : ('', '')
