You meant to write:

def doesNotHave(exclude, root):
 for x in exclude:
 if root.find(x) > -1:
 return False
 return True

This can be written as
def doesNotHave(exclude, root):
 for x in exclude:
 if x in root:
 return False
 return True

or

def doesNotHave(exclude, root):
 return not any(x in root for x in exclude)

[Tutor] Forgot something...

[Timothy Sikes]

Sorry, but in my previous message, I realized that I hadn't changed the code 
from doesNotHave...  It's supposed to be x.find(), not x.startswith..Oh, 
and I also am not worried about messing up any files too much, because I have 
them all backed up on another computer already
