Question

MUST USE PYTHON

Write a program that recursively traverses a directory and prints out all file names that start with a given string. For example, if user inputs (test_), then, the program should print all file names that start with test_. Note that directory names are excluded, in other words, if a directory is named test_1, then it should not be printed.

Input to program: prefix and directory where the program should start the search.

Note – you are not allowed to use os.walk().

Answer 1

code:

import glob

#set the path of directory to search recursively

path = '../'

#enter string to start search the files who start with

fileName = input("Enter Filename to start with : ")

#get all the files recursively as list of files

files = [f for f in glob.glob(path + "**/*.*", recursive=True)]

#for each file name in files

for f in files:

#check if user entered string is in filename or not

if fileName in f:

print(f)
