Find all files in a directory with extension .txt in Python
How can I find all the files in a directory having the extension .txt
in python?
You can use glob
:
import glob, os
os.chdir("/mydir")
for file in glob.glob("*.txt"):
print(file)
or simply os.listdir
:
import os
for file in os.listdir("/mydir"):
if file.endswith(".txt"):
print(os.path.join("/mydir", file))
or if you want to traverse directory, use os.walk
:
import os
for root, dirs, files in os.walk("/mydir"):
for file in files:
if file.endswith(".txt"):
print(os.path.join(root, file))
Use glob.
>>> import glob
>>> glob.glob('./*.txt')
['./outline.txt', './pip-log.txt', './test.txt', './testingvim.txt']
