I am trying to scan all files on Linux system using os.walk, however i want to exclude some non relevant directories. Below you can see my test code where i am trying to implement this, however it does not work correctly. My question is how do i add filenames/directories to exclude from results.
import os
exc=["/tmp","/meh"]
def get_filepaths(directory):
file_paths = []
for root, directories, files in os.walk(directory):
for filename in files:
filepath = os.path.join(root, filename)
for x in exc:
print(x)
if x in filepath:
pass
else:
file_paths.append(filepath)
return file_paths
full_file_paths = get_filepaths("/")
