How to Quickly Detect Keyworded Folders in Python: A Simple Script

1. Introduction

The author received a question in a Python community about how to determine whether folder names under multiple directories contain the keywords “分公司” (branch office) or “营销中心” (marketing center). The article presents a concise Python solution.

2. Implementation

The following script uses os.walk to traverse the directory tree, checks each folder name against a list of keywords, and prints a message when a match is found.

import os

def check_folders(root_directory, keywords):
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(root_directory):
        for dir_name in dirs:
            for keyword in keywords:
                if keyword in dir_name:
                    print(f"Folder '{dir_name}' contains the keyword '{keyword}'.")

root_directory = "path/to/your/root/directory"  # replace with your actual path
keywords = ["分公司", "营销中心"]

check_folders(root_directory, keywords)

This script successfully solves the problem by listing all matching folders.

3. Conclusion

The article provides a clear example of using Python for automation tasks related to file system management, helping readers implement a quick check for specific keywords in folder names.
