Find a given file recursively inside a directory

[alinaveed786]

Find a given file recursively inside a dir. The code I tried is not showing any output, though I have a file C:\Users\anaveed\test\hoax\a.txt
Below the code

import glob
import os

os.chdir(r'C:\Users\anaveed\test')
for f in glob.iglob('a.txt', recursive=True):
    print(f)

No output

If recursive is true, the pattern “**” will match any files and zero or more directories and subdirectories. If the pattern is followed by an os.sep, only directories and subdirectories match.

It looks like recursive = True doesn't make the search recursive, it just allows for wildcards to be recursive. I would try '**/a.txt' for the pattern.
