Open file knowing only a part of its name

Question

I\'m currently reading a file and importing the data in it with the line:

# Read data from file.
data = np.loadtxt(join(mypath, \'file.data\'), unpack=True)
         


        

Answer 1

Also check out fnmatch:

>>> import fnmatch
>>> import os
>>>
>>> fnmatch.filter(os.listdir('.'), 'file_*.data')
['file_3453453.data']
>>>
