Here's the working code for my problem. But i tried it to post 'No
files found' in case no specified files are found. It doesn't do that.
Just simply exits.
dir_input = raw_input('Enter dir: ')
win_trace = ['*.ini', '*.db']
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(dir_input):
for trace in win_trace:
win_trace_path = os.path.join(root, trace)
for filename in glob.glob(win_trace_path):
if os.path.exists(filename):
print filename
else:
print 'No files found'
confirmation = raw_input('Confirm removal: ')
if confirmation == 'y':
os.remove(filename)
print 'done'
elif confirmation == 'n':
pass
else:
sys.exit()
