Re: os.path.isfile and wildcard for directory name
Hello,
2010/12/30 smain...@free.fr:
How can i do the same thing (wildcard in a directory name) in python please ?
You can get the contents of a directory with os.listdir and filter
with fnmatch.fnmatch more or less as in the example from the
documentation:
-
import fnmatch
import os
for file in os.listdir('.'):
if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, '*.txt'):
print file
-
Regards,
Javier

I want to test if a file exists but my path contain a directory name that
differs from a server to another.
In shell i would have done something like that :
#!/bin/bash
mypath=/dire*/directory02/
myfile=filename
myfile=toto
if [ -f $mypath/$myfile ]
then
echo File $file exists
fi

Given
$ mkdir yadda{1..10}
$ touch yadda{5,7}/alpha
$ mkdir yadda{2,4}/alpha
You can get a list of candidates with
import glob
candidates = glob.glob(yadda*/alpha)
candidates
['yadda5/alpha', 'yadda2/alpha', 'yadda4/alpha', 'yadda7/alpha']
and then use isfile() to find the actual files:
import os
[f for f in candidates if os.path.isfile(f)]
['yadda5/alpha', 'yadda7/alpha']
