find any item in the list
#3

d will be a big sting with mixed in \n \r and empty stings.

You should use subprocess,and not os.popen() which is deprecated.
Quote:Deprecated since version 2.6: All of the os.popen*() functions are obsolete. Use the subprocess module.

If doing it subprocess and can use check_output to get output.
Ideally would like to remove shell=True,but command did like to be spilt out to a list.
import subprocess

pro = subprocess.check_output("""wmic process get name | findstr /v "Name 'System Idle Process' System""", shell=True)
pro_string = pro.decode('utf-8')

lst = []
for item in pro_string.split('\r'):
    lst.append(item.strip())
process_list = filter(None, lst)
process_list = list(process_list)
#print(process_list)
Test output,see now that have clean up list with processes.
>>> process_list[:6]
['Registry',
 'smss.exe',
 'csrss.exe',
 'wininit.exe',
 'csrss.exe',
 'winlogon.exe']

>>> pro_find = ['chrome.exe', 'smss.exe']
>>> any(p in process_list for p in pro_find)
True 
Alternative use psutil is good for this kind of stuff.
great its working but now how i cant now which of pro_find = ["opera.exe" , "chrome.exe" , "iexplore.exe" , "firefox.exe" , "microsoftedgecp.exe"]
exist and pass it name to
qassam = os.popen("dir /s /b {}".format("pass the process name founded from the list ")).read().strip()
