i working on script recursively go through subfolders in mainfolder , build list off file type. having issue script. set follows
for root, subfolder, files in os.walk(path): item in files: if item.endswith(".txt") : filenamepath = str(os.path.join(root,subfolder,item)) the problem subfolder variable pulling in list of subfolders rather folder item file located. thinking of running loop subfolder before , join first part of path figured id double check see if has suggestions before that. help!
you should using dirpath call root. dirnames supplied can prune if there folders don't wish os.walk recurse into.
import os result = [os.path.join(dp, f) dp, dn, filenames in os.walk(path) f in filenames if os.path.splitext(f)[1] == '.txt'] edit:
after latest downvote, occurred me glob better tool selecting extension.
import os glob import glob result = [y x in os.walk(path) y in glob(os.path.join(x[0], '*.txt'))] also generator version
from itertools import chain result = (chain.from_iterable(glob(os.path.join(x[0], '*.txt')) x in os.walk('.')))
