Getting Every File in a Windows Directory

Question

I have a folder in Windows 7 which contains multiple .txt files. How would one get every file in said directory as a list?

Answer 1

You can use os.listdir(".") to list the contents of the current directory ("."):

for name in os.listdir("."):
    if name.endswith(".txt"):
        print(name)

If you want the whole list as a Python list, use a list comprehension:

a = [name for name in os.listdir(".") if name.endswith(".txt")]
