Renaming and Copying Raster Data

PeterBordokoff2

I am working on a script to rename and copy a large raster data set, in folders containing .prj, .tfwx, .tif.aux.xml, .ovr, and .tif.xml files with each .tif image. In running a simple rename and shutil.copy script (below) I lose parts of the metadata:

...

filCnt = 0
for file in files:
# Slice off 1st 4 digits of file name
    num = file[0:4]
    if num == "1982":
        filCnt = filCnt + 1
        sStg = 0
        sStg = file.find('L') # A few files contain L
        if sStg > 8 and sStg < 15:
            newFile = file[sStg+2:]
            shutil.copy(file,outDir+newFile)
            print newFile

        sStg = file.find('l') # A few files contain l
        if sStg > 8 and sStg < 15:
            newFile = file[sStg+2:]
            shutil.copy(file,outDir+newFile)
            print newFile

How can I modify this to keep the renaming convention, but use another copying procedure? The Copy Raster tool ignores the associated files and I would prefer not creating a database for this, given the amount of data. Any ideas? Thank you!

Running 10.3 btw

I suggest you to use arcpy.Rename_management if your raster files don't contain .dre files. Also you can use fnmatch and os to list and find your raster with extension you specified. For example:

def Rasterlist(folder):
    rasterlarunisiz = []
    numberoffiles = len(fnmatch.filter(os.listdir(folder), '*.tif'))
    arcpy.AddMessage("count of files:%s" % numberoffiles)
    unilirasterlar = fnmatch.filter(os.listdir(folder), '*.tif')
    arcpy.AddMessage("unicode rasters:%s" % unilirasterlar)
    ranger = range(0, dosyasayisi)
    for i in ranger:
        rasterlarnameunisiz = unilirasterlar.encode('UTF-8')
        rasterlarunisiz.append(rasterlarnameunisiz)
    arcpy.AddMessage("rasters without unicode: %s " % rasterlarunisiz)

Besides, you shouldn't worry about .ovr and, .tif.aux.xml etc.. Because most of those files was created by making pyramids on associated rasters.

And use Pycharm, use def.
