I could give you lots of links but which is most useful will depend on your level of knowledge. I get the impression that you are not experienced in Web development and so may not even understand concepts like CGI? If so the best place to start is by searching for a Web tutorial on how to write CGI applications. There are many of these and probably one in your native language, read that first. Then look at the CGI tutorial onthe Python web site: http://wiki.python.org/moin/CgiScripts as well as the documentation on the cgi module: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-cgi.html do not how to make the search and list the files found to download The list of files is just plain HTML. Here is some very primitive code: print ul for name in ['foo.txt','bar.txt', 'baz.txt']: print li %s /li % name print /ul In your case you need to surround the name with an anchor link too. None of this is Python specific it is just basic web programming in HTML. HTH, Alan G.

That adds a whole heap of extra complexity. A lot depends on what web mechanism/framework you are using. If we assume the standard cgi module then you need to get the submited data out of the request with the field_storage dictionary. Then you need to call your search function and finally format the results as HTML. Either offer to downoad a particular file and have a second request start the download or just send the file back, but that could be an unexpected result. I'd offer the file as a link and let the user click on it to fetch it from the server. But web programming is a whole different ball game. You should look up some simple examples first.

Re: [Tutor] Help search files
The user put the word or the regular expresion in a textbox i need to do when ther user press the buttom submit call the file for example search.py . I need to do this search.py file to find the file looking for ther user. If the file or files are found i want to the user can download the files found making click in the link listed in ther form On 7/4/07, Alan Gauld [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Alejandro Decchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote form where the user write the word to search and if the file was found Do you mean the word is the filename (use glob module) or the word is inside the file (use os.walk)? Amnd do you need an exact match or a wild card search. The latter will use either glob or regular expressions(re module) user must could download the file making click in the link You can use the ftlib module for that.

Re: [Tutor] Help search files
perfect but can you give me a link to find a file in a directory.Because i do not the function to search files in some directory.

And this word is the name of the file to be found Ok, In that case use the glob function in the glob module. It returns a list of all files that match a pattern: import glob files = glob.glob(*.txt) print files For more powerful searches you can use os.walk() See the OS topic in my tutorial for more examples of using glob and os.walk HTH, -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
