I have the below files located at some location in RHEL machine.
temp_file2.txt
temp_file3.txt



Looking for a python script to find above files recursively in all directories(I used a wild card, but it didn't work), and print a message if the file exists or not.



The below code snippet returns Nothing



import glob

for filename in glob.iglob('*/*.txt', recursive=True):
print(filename)


It returns the file name if it exists only in the current working directory



import glob

for filename in glob.iglob('.txt', recursive=True):
print(filename)

  • I think you need **, so glob.iglob('**/*.txt', recursive=True):

  • I have tried ** also, and I noticed it returns files in the current working directory only.

This approach seems to have worked for me, using python3.6



import glob

for f in glob.iglob('./**/*.yml', recursive=True):
print(f)


I was also able to use os.getcwd() + '/**/*.yml'. It appears there must be a directory definition at the start of the glob.
