How dont' show hidden system files - Mike Ru - Jan-11-2018
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

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.
