Muttering 'globbing is a Perl concept, listing dirs must be in file ops' I turned first to the Files section of the Nutshell book :-) But I came up with this code, which I'm happy with for several reasons: def createaproposjlist(opname): filelist=os.listdir('./icon.scripts/'+opname) spltnames=map(os.path.splitext,filelist) scripts=filter(lambda x: x[1]=='.script', spltnames) filenames=map(''.join,scripts) filebases=map(lambda x: x[0], spltnames) return filebases; Cheers, Nandan _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
