Hello,
First of all thanks for your response. I've written a function
as shown below to recurse a directory and return a file based on the
value of n. I am calling this fucntion from my main code to catch that
filename. The folder which it recurses through contains a folder
having files with unicode names (as an example i've given earlier.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def findFile(dir_path):
for name in os.listdir(dir_path):
full_path = os.path.join(dir_path, name)
print full_path
if os.path.isdir(full_path):
findFile(full_path)
else:
n = n - 1
if(n ==0):
return full_path
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because os.listdir() returns the list in arbitrary order (depends on
platform and/or filesystem type), it is pretty useless to get the n'th
file of a directory. With every call of your function, the n'th file may
be a different one. Never rely on the order of items returned by
os.listdir().
