Hi

I have this code:
Import glob
For files in glob.glob('*.txt')
To search current dir for all txt files. But i also want to search for .ini files so i was thinking:
For files in glob.glob('*.txt, *.ini')
I know that dont work but you get the idea? So any ideas how i can search for both .txt .ini files in current dir?

Thanx

It's easy enough:

(Toggle Plain Text)

import glob

files = glob.glob("*.txt") + glob.glob("*.ini")
files.sort()

for file in files:
    # la de da

A bit more complex, but allows you to add the path.

(Toggle Plain Text)

import os

fileList = []
path = 'C:/Windows/'
for file in os.listdir(path):
  if (file.endswith('.txt') | file.endswith('.ini')):
    fileList.append(file)

print "\nAll the .ini and .txt files in %s:" % path
print "\n".join(fileList)
