hello,
I want to find all files with the extension "*.txt".
From the examples in "Learning Python, Lutz and Asher" and
from the website I see examples where you also may specify a wildcard filegroup.
But when I try this
files = os.listdir('D:\\akto_yk\\yk_controle\\*.txt')
I get an error message
WindowsError: [Errno 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect:
'D:\\akto_yk\\yk_controle\\*.txt/*.*'
What am I doing wrong ?
thanks,

Hi Stef,
Like that name; from a passing thought, I think the os.listdir command
will resolve the slash/backslash. You might try using the unix method
which I think would be 'd:/akto_yk/yk_controls/*.txt'. I'm sorry, but I
can't test this knowledge, as I don't have access to Windows.
Alternatively you could use glob.glob, after changing directory ( via
os.chdir) to get a listing.
from os import chdir, getcwd
from glob import glob
CWD = getcwd()
chdir( 'd:/akto_yk/yk_controls')
filelist = glob.glob('*.txt')
chdir( CWD )
