Hi, I found a message on Jan 16, 2006 regarding the same topic, except that I wanted to remove only certain files that satisfy the format "ABC_XXX_XXX.dat", but not the other files. Once the files are removed, if a folder becomes empty, I want to remove the folder as well.
The solution to the Jan 16 2006 message required many lines of python code. I was wondering if there is a simpler solution to my problem at hand, perhaps by using more specialized functions? Thanks! bahoo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
