Answer 1

Here is what I am using to filter files in apache log directories. Here I exclude errors flles

rep_filters = [now.strftime("%Y%m%d")]
def files_filter(liste_fic, filters = rep_filters):
    s = "(fic for fic in liste_fic if fic.find('error') < 0"
    for filter in filters:
        s += " and fic.find('%s') >=0 " % filter
    s += ")"
    return eval(s)
