    Have you done anything so far or you are expecting that someone will do all the work instead of you? – zero323 Sep 16 '13 at 14:04

Use os.walk, and str.endswith.

  • I was able to retrieve all the files from the Sub-Directories. Thanks for your support. Some directories contain a mixed bag of files, for e.g. .py files, .txt files and .xml files ofcourse, Also the naming convention of the files are 02.01 Abc.xml, 3.5 def.xml, 02.05 Abc.py, Initialization.txt. Now I want to retrieve all those files which has numerals in the first two places of the name and are xml, i.e. .xml extension), does not really matters what comes in between. I used a regex. 'Names' contain all the names of the files matchgroup = re.match(r'^\d\d[xml]$', Names, re.M): Need assist. – user1227670 Sep 17 '13 at 19:35
  • I was able to retrieve all those files with two numerals in the begining and also .xml extension. Thanks for your support. I have placed all those names in an .xml file. Now I want to convert those filenames in a hyper-reference to some files located on the same machine. Line of Code of Regular Expression: re.match(r'^\d\d(.*)\xml$', names, re.M): Line of Code to display the name in the xml. a.write( with a as the stream. Need inputs in this case. – user1227670 Sep 19 '13 at 13:26

code:

import os
xmlFiles = []
for directoryPath in os.walk(filePath):
    fileName = directoryPath[2]
    if fileName[:3] = 'xml':# or fileName.endswith('xml'):
        xmlFiles.append(fileName)
