I always use Jason Orendorff's path module for this kind of stuff. It's way easier to use than os.whatever: import path files = path.path(pathToSearch).walkfiles(filename) will give a list of path.path objects in pathToSearch whose names match filename (which is a glob so wildcards are recognized). path.path is a subclass of str so the results can be used wherever you want the full path. http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/index.html Kent -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
