Hi Shazuka.

Sorry for not responding earlier. I must have missed this comment.

If you get the problem that the match is a NoneType that means that the regular expression might not match.

Is the path to the files correct?

The regular expression i use above is 'PetImages/([A-Z])/.*'

That requires that you have a set of paths starting with PetImages then the directory inside there should be a uppercase letter and the files inside those directories can have any name.

You can make it more specific by chaning it to say 'PetImages/([A-Z])/[a-zA-Z]+.jpg'

Then you only allowing names with letters a to z and A to Z ending with jpg.

If you think regular expressions are strange I have a video that might help

Hi @kalaspuffar. I am trying out this code for around 40 classes, however my label names are not single letters such A,B,C. They have such names as character_1_ka. As i understand, the letterString looks at each character of the string as a label, yes? Would this be fixed by creating an array of strings as letterString?
