If you are a lucky Unix/Linux/MacOS user: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/env python # find files import os cmd = 'find apps/name/ -type f -name "*.js" -print' # find is a standard Unix tool for filename in os.popen(cmd).readlines(): # run find command # do something with filename --------------------------------------------------------------------------- find is very powerful, really.
