How to iterate through a folder?

Question

Unfortunately, I do not have any code for this, because I don't know how this would be done. What I want to do is iterate through a folder (not directory) (named "images") and get all the images from that folder (not directory). Since these images will be added through a discord bot, I do not know how many images will be in that folder (not directory).

try this

import glob
glob.glob("path/to/folder/*.jpg")

you may change the file format to .png or any format you are using.

What does this return? A list? – L8R Oct 09 '22 at 00:34
"What does this return?" Did you **try it**? Did you try [reading the documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/glob.html)? – Karl Knechtel Oct 09 '22 at 04:00

Yes, I tried reading the documentation. Yes, I tried it. But I was just curious... – L8R Oct 09 '22 at 13:31
