[issue8402] glob returns empty list with [ character in the folder name
flacs 0f1...@gmail.com added the comment:
As a workaround, it is possible to make every glob character a character set of
one character (wrapping it with [] ). The gotcha here is that you can't just
use multiple replaces because you would escape the escape brackets.
Here is a function adapted from [1]:
def escape_glob(path):
transdict = {
'[': '[[]',
']': '[]]',
'*': '[*]',
'?': '[?]',
}
rc = re.compile('|'.join(map(re.escape, transdict)))
return rc.sub(lambda m: transdict[m.group(0)], path)

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: The 3.1.2 doc for fnmatch.translate no longer says There is no way to quote meta-characters. If that is still true (no quoting method is given that I can see), then that removal is something of a regression. -- nosy: +tjreedy versions: +Python 3.2 -Python 2.5 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8402 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue8402] glob returns empty list with [ character in the folder name
Dan Gawarecki dan_gaware...@datacard.com added the comment: Shouldn't the title be updated to indicate the fnmatch is the true source of the behavior (I'm basing this on http://docs.python.org/library/glob.html indicating the fnmatch is invoked by glob). I'm not using glob, but fnmatch in my attempt to find filenames that look like Ajax_[version2].txt. If nothing else, it would have helped me if the documentation would state whether or not the brackets could be escaped. It doesn't appear from my tests (trying Ajax_\[version2\].txt and Ajax_\\[version2\\].txt) that 'escaping' is possible, but if the filter pattern gets turned into a regular expression, I think escaping *would* be possible. Is that a reasonable assumption? I'm running 2.5.1 under Windows, and this is my first ever post to the bugs list. -- nosy: +Aquinas ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8402 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

I saw Eric Smith's 2nd note (2010-04-15 @1:27) about fnmatch.translate documentation stating that There is no way to quote meta-characters. When I looked at: http://docs.python.org/library/fnmatch.html#module-fnmatch did not see this statement appear anywhere.

[issue8402] glob returns empty list with [ character in the folder name
New submission from george hu geo...@gmail.com: Have this problem in python 2.5.4 under windows. I'm trying to return a list of files in a directory by using glob. It keeps returning a empty list until I tested/adjusted folder name by removing [ character from it. Not sure if this is a bug. glob.glob(c:\abc\afolderwith[test]\*) returns empty list glob.glob(c:\abc\afolderwithtest]\*) returns files -- messages: 103160 nosy: george.hu severity: normal status: open title: glob returns empty list with [ character in the folder name type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8402 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Shashwat Anand anand.shash...@gmail.com added the comment:
When you do :
glob.glob(c:\abc\afolderwith[test]\*) returns empty list
It looks for all files in three directories:
c:\abc\afolderwitht\*
c:\abc\afolderwithe\*
c:\abc\afolderwiths\*
Ofcourse they do not exist so it returns empty list
06:35:05 l0nwlf-MBP:Desktop $ ls -R test
1 2 3
06:35:15 l0nwlf-MBP:Desktop $ ls -R test1
alpha beta gamma
glob.glob('/Users/l0nwlf/Desktop/test[123]/*')
['/Users/l0nwlf/Desktop/test1/alpha', '/Users/l0nwlf/Desktop/test1/beta',
'/Users/l0nwlf/Desktop/test1/gamma']
As you can see, by giving the argument test[123] it looked for test1, test2,
test3. Since test1 existed, it gave all the files present within it.

If you want to see this changed, you could open a feature request. If you have a patch, that would help!

glob module does not provide what you want.
As a workaround you can try:
os.listdir(c:\abc\afolderwith[test])
07:02:52 l0nwlf-MBP:Desktop $ ls -R test\[123\]/
1 2 3
os.listdir('/Users/l0nwlf/Desktop/test[123]')
['1', '2', '3']
