how to get files in a directory including all subdirectories

Question

I am trying to get list all the log files (.log) in directory and included all subdirectories.

Thanks in advance......

Answer 1

Checkout Python Recursive Directory Walker. In short os.listdir() and os.walk() are your friends.

Answer 2

If You want to list in current directory, You can use something like:

import os

for e in os.walk(os.getcwd()):
    print e

Just change the

os.getcwd()

to other path to get results there.

Answer 3

import os
import os.path

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk("."):
    for filename in [f for f in filenames if f.endswith(".log")]:
        print os.path.join(dirpath, filename)

Answer 4

You can also use the glob module along with os.walk.

import os
from glob import glob

files = []
start_dir = os.getcwd()
pattern   = "*.log"

for dir,_,_ in os.walk(start_dir):
    files.extend(glob(os.path.join(dir,pattern)))
