How dont' show hidden system files

[Mike Ru]

I'm using Windows now. I would like know how I can don't show hidden files in Windows. For example:

import os
print(os.listdir(r'C:/Users/mike/'))

But I need to get only my files. How can I hide AppData, Ntuser.dat etc... ?

Go after the files you are interested in

import glob

def get_dir(dir):
    for file in glob.glob(dir):
        print(file)

get_dir('Z:/python/forum/inspect/*.py')

results:

Output:
Z:/python/forum/inspect\ListVariables.py
Z:/python/forum/inspect\MyTestClass.py
Z:/python/forum/inspect\review.py

Z:/python/forum/inspect\MyTestClass.py
Z:/python/forum/inspect\review.py

I need all files and folders except hidden

import os

def get_dir(dir):
    return [file for file in os.listdir(dir) if not file.startswith('.')]

print(get_dir('Z:/python/forum/inspect/'))

import os
 
def get_dir(dir):
    return [file for file in os.listdir(dir) if not file.startswith('.')]
 
print(get_dir('Z:/python/forum/inspect/'))

It shows all files and folders and hidden too.
