Short story - I have a few thousand files in a directory I need to parse through. Is there a simple way to loop through files? I'd like to avoid writing a python script that can parse 1 file, and have to call it a few thousand times from a bash script. Any input or pointers to functions that'd help would be very much appreciated.
Sounds like you're reaching for os.listdir() import os TARGET = '/path/to/wherever' for fname in os.listdir(TARGET): process_file(os.path.join(TARGET, fname)) or possibly glob.glob() from glob import glob for fname in glob(os.path.join(TARGET, '*.txt')): process_file(fname) -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
