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
