You might like Jason Orendorff's path module. Using it you can write import path pth = path.path('/Users/kpp9c/snd/01') samples = list(pth.walkfiles('t*.aif')) path.walkfiles() returns an iterator, that is why the list() call is needed. If you are going to loop over the samples you can omit it: for sample in pth.walkfiles('t*.aif'): ... http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/index.html Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
