Hi nairalanders, am jacob a beginner in python programming language. I want this thread to be a of source competition or challenge in which a user post a question
(which he or she can and have solve) and wait for answers from other posters and after the question is answered he reveal the source code and if the question again
is not answered in TWO WEEKS he reveal the answer.

NOTE: The question can be solved with any programming language sofar as the answer is correct and multiple answers are also allowed.   

                                       
First challenge: Create a file manager that searches a given system location for .mp3,.pdf,.zip,.doc,.txt,.html,.java,.py,.php,.jar files and extract the files from the given
location  and create folders to save each seperate file format in location of your choice.FINISH:-)                                             

simple  Well like i have said earlier i am a beginner and i am not to ask hard questions that i can't solve. And forever me of how this post is written because
i am using my phone(free browse). 

SO GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL

Well it seems no body is willing to answer my question

well i reveal my source code in PYTHON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

but this file manager suchs for '.txt','.py','.doc','.java','.pdf','.htm' and suchs the Desktop

i created this Desktop manager as a result of a problem of having too much files on my desktop
since all my internet downloads are downloaded on desktop and i made it a challenge for myself
not to manually move all the desktop files since they are many and different file format so that bring
about these my desktop manager.

This program will be about 20 lines if u write it in shell scripting or in perl, C will do a better job @ it even,

I just want this script to be readable for beginners that is why i did so much of repeatation and i will be glad if you can provide the C or perl version of the script.   

I admire the way you have used your favorite language to solve your file management problem. Well done.

@Mr Seun


thanks very much you don't know happy i am to recieve the admin's commendation although i have been a bad boy lately for posting


free zain's mms ip's   But with this comment i think i will face my programming and stop posting more ip's once again thanks for your comment

Coming soon: filemanager {edited} in JAVA

that is a lot of code for a very simple task .dont you have utility libraries in python that can help with some of those I/O stuff

@candylips
thanks.still a beginner working on that.i will edit it very soon.like he use to say PYTHON IS NOT JAVA

@candylips

How can i write this same code in java

@Jacob - ehm, somehow i dont really see ppl posting so much like that - i love posting codes all over the place - but somehow i dont really feel challenged - i personally see it as chest-thumping - i am the best, i am beta than u, that is wat d word challenge means to me.
I created a thread "Looking For Any Script/Service? Please Check Here." - https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-214688.0.html in the webmasters section - that one is clear and unequivocal - if this were to be something like that - ppl will surely post problems and others may post solution.
I cant just b going thru my code library and start posting,

Anyway, i will still think of wat to post on your thread later on. Just that - it seems i do more of web development these days.

have u worked with glade 2

Glade 2 ?.

Glade 2 ?.

Glade 2 ?.

glade is a program that allows u to create gui the same way u will do it in vb thAT is drag and drop

ooook .
@netghost
Any contribution ??

ooook .
@netghost
Any contribution ??

I can actually make this a web based desktop manager using PHP/MYSQL + Ajax(not necessary)

@nitation
you are so much welcomed contribute to this code.

HI
I have a .pdf file that has all about python programming.
You can send me an e-mail or call me on this 0803-7388-257 or wedeville@yahoo.com
Thank you.

@wedee

I would suggest you upload it to a free file upload repository online for newbie's into PYTHON PROGRAMMING
