search and read file given partial file

[SriRajesh]

Hi,
I want to read file given a partial file name:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

import glob my_dir = 'D:\PythonCodes' #post_fix = ['\InputFiles\KYLJHQ_20191215\sub_folder/InputCSV.csv','\InputFiles\KYLJHQ_20191215\sub_folder/InputCSV2.csv'] post_fix = ['\InputFiles\KYLJHQ_*\sub_folder/InputCSV.csv','\InputFiles\KYLJHQ_*\sub_folder/InputCSV2.csv']     for i in range(len(post_fix)):     full_path = glob.glob(my_dir + str(post_fix[i]))     tmp_file = open(full_path,'r')     tmp_data = tmp.readlines()     print(tmp_data)

the file structure is D:\PythonCodes -->\InputFiles\KYLJHQ_*\sub_folder/InputCSV.csv. I uae above code but it giving error:

TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not list

this is where functions come in.

1 2 3 4 5

def read_file(filaneme):     with open(filename) as fp:         for line in fp:             fp.strip()             ...

You give a list to open in line 9.
Some point you don't need glob as you construct a full path here,and use join to join paths.
So if put it together and use also code from Larz.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

from os.path import join   def read_file(filename):     with open(filename) as fp:         for line in fp:             print(line.strip())   # No \ singel in path,eg use raw string my_dir = r'D:\PythonCodes' post_fix = ['InputFiles\KYLJHQ_*\sub_folder\InputCSV.csv', 'InputFiles\KYLJHQ_*\sub_folder\InputCSV2.csv'] full_path = [] for r_path in post_fix:     full_path.append(join(my_dir, r_path))   # Now read both files for path in full_path:     read_file(path)
