I am trying to code a function that takes a directory name and a name
string and try to return a list of fully qualified names of all files
in the directory having an exact match of name.
example,
I have these files in the directory,
'googlegroup_python__111.txt',
'googlegroup_python__112.txt',
'googlegroup_python_django__111.txt',
'googlegroup_python_django__112.txt',
'googlegroup_python_grok__111.txt',
When I call
get_filenames('mydir', 'googlegroup_python' )
I expect to get a list like
['/mydir/googlegroup_python__111.txt', '/mydir/
googlegroup_python__112.txt']
but not the other three.
I was careless when I coded the method as
def get_filenames(dirname,filenamestr):
match_filenames=[dirname+os.sep+x for x inos.listdir(dirname) if
x.startswith(filenamestr)]
return match_filenames
because this would return all 5 of the above filenames.I think reg
expression maybe the way to do this..but not very sure as to how I can
do it..
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated
thanks
jim
