Is there any way in python to parse files in a directory full of directories full of text files to find for a match?

Question

I have a directory full of other directories with thousands of text files and I don't know how to parse every file to look for matches. Is there any way in python?

I tried the read file module but I have to specify a directory and I don't know how to open every file, not only the ones I specified.

Step 1: list all the files. Step 2: open each file and look for whatever you are looking for. — luk2302, Nov 23 '22 at 16:07

If you have a character that separates each directory, you can use that to split the text.

Search about the split function in Python.

' txt.split('') '

If you put the text it's more easy to explain.
