Python merge overlapping paths-CodePudding

I am trying to merge 2 overlapping paths in the following way:

wd= /home/user/project1/scripts/test1

path=~/project1/task1/file.txt

output= /home/user/project1/task1/file.txt

I have tried what suggested in similar posts but I don't get my desired output:

wd='/home/user/project1/scripts/test1'

path='~/project1/task1/file.txt'

print(os.path.join(wd, path))

CodePudding user response：

I would suggest using this solution:

import os
wd = '/home/user/project1/scripts/test1'
path = '~/project1/task1/file.txt'
output = wd '/' os.path.basename(path)
print(output)

CodePudding user response：

How about trying this?

import os
wd= '/home/user/project1/scripts/test1'
path='~/project1/task1/file.txt'

path = path.replace('~','/home/user')
print(path)

It outputs "/home/user/project1/task1/file.txt"
