Quick & Dirty python recursive folder search
-
Someone asked how to have python recursively search a folder structure. There may be a better way but this is how I typically do it–it basically starts with one directory and loops through the contents compiling a list of sub-directories as it goes through the contents.
import glob, os
theDir = 'c:/temp/'
theDirList = []
theDirList.append(theDir)
while len(theDirList)> 0:
newDirList = []
for iDir in theDirList:
print iDir
for iFile in glob.glob(iDir+"/*"):
if (os.path.isdir(iFile)):
newDirList.append(iFile)
theDirList = newDirList
