[Tutor] conditional renaming folder and files in the tree

[banda gunda]

Dear Tutor,

I want to change the name of the folders and the files in the tree.
All those folders and files starting with name string '---'.
Examples:
If a  folder name is : \---DAT1
I want to change this to: \changedDAT1
If a file name is: \---00001.txt
I want to change this to: \changed00001.txt

I have attached the code and output to this email.
Specifically, I like to provide correct syntax (dst / destination) for line 6 code block below!
I have not understood the syntax.

Thanks in advance, for your help .
best,
banda

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(".", topdown=False):
    for name in files:
        print(os.path.join(root, name))
        os.rename(name.replace("---", "changed"))
        list_of_files[name] = os.sep.join([dirpath, name])
        print (list_of_files)

    for name in dirs:
        print(os.path.join(root, name))
