Can someone help me with shortening my raster names ?

hansaneefernando

I have around 500 rasters in a folder with their names ending as follows. 

 

20190512_160716_104b_3B_AnalyticMS_SR_clip

20190512_160717_104b_3B_AnalyticMS_SR_clip

I want to remove the "AnalyticMS_SR_clip" part from all 500 rasters and save them in a new folder. I am very new to python, please help me. 

Thanks in Advance.

copy the rasters to the intended new folder, then:

Just be careful what folder you select..

<SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> os

<SPAN class="comment token">#input folder to search (assuming no subdirectories)</SPAN>
<SPAN class="comment token">#e.g - r'D:\myFolder'</SPAN>
folder <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> r<SPAN class="string token">'put_the_path_to_folder_here'</SPAN>

<SPAN class="comment token">#this string will be searched for in filepath then deleted</SPAN>
text_to_replace <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"AnalyticMS_SR_clip"</SPAN>

<SPAN class="keyword token">for</SPAN> root<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> dirs<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> files <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> os<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>walk<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>folder<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN>
    <SPAN class="keyword token">for</SPAN> filename <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> files<SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN>

        <SPAN class="comment token">#replace text_to_replace in name with empty string</SPAN>
        new_name <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> filename<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>replace<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>text_to_replace<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">""</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>

        <SPAN class="comment token">#get path of original, create new path for replacement</SPAN>
