Hi Dennis Thanks for your reply and also the detailed explanation.

Yes, this is what i exactly needed.
I have found something interesting to do this using the os.walk(path)
function, and it worked....
I am pasting the code which i used for this:
testpath=r"C:\\"
logpath=r"C:\Pathfinder.txt"
csvpath=r"C:\Pathfinder.csv"
import os, csv
def logData(d={}, logfile="c://filename999.txt", separator="\n"):
"""Takes a dictionary of values and writes them to the provided
file path"""
logstring=separator.join([str(key)+": "+d[key] for key in
d.keys()])+"\n"
f=open(logfile,'a')
f.write(logstring)
f.close()
return
def walker(topPath,csvpath):
fDict={}
logDict={}
limit=1000
freed_space=0
items=0
fileHandle = csv.writer(open(csvpath, 'w'))
fileHandle.writerow(['Index','Path'])
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(topPath):
for name in files:
fpath=os.path.join(root,name)
logDict["Name"]=name
logDict["Path"]=fpath
if name.find("NEWS"):
continue
else:
logData(logDict, logpath, "\t")
fDict[items] = name
items=len(fDict.keys())
fileHandle.writerow([items,fpath])
print "Dict entry: ",items,
print "Path: ",fpath
if items > limit:
break
if items > limit:
break
walker(testpath,csvpath)
Finally thank you all very much for the patience to listen to me.
Regards,
Sudhir
