determine directories with wildcard

[Thomas Rademacher]

Hello,

I want to collect with the wildcard '*' all existing directories.
For example: /dir/dir/*/dir/*/dir/* or C:\dir\dir\*\dir\*\dir\*

How can I resolve this problem?

Thanks for your hints, Thomas.

This is some sort of pattern matching. What I'd do is to convert your
pattern to a regex:

rex = re.compile(r"/dir/dir/.*/dir/.*/dir/.*")

Then create a list of dirs with os.walk:

dirs = [dirpath for dirpath, foo, bar in os.walk(topdir) if
rex.match(dirpath)]
This is untested, but should do the trick.

python

import glob
help(glob)

or look at the online documentation for glob.

You may want to check out the glob module. E.g. something like:

import glob, os
p = "c:/*/*/site-packages/*"
dirs = [d for d in glob.glob(p) if os.path.isdir(d)]
print dirs

How about something like:

import fnmatch
import os

root = 'd:\\'
filter = r'*\*python*\*'

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(root):
if fnmatch.fnmatch(dirpath, filter):
print 'matched', dirpath
