build array list

[raopatwari]

I am writing function to return the list of files in unix directory. it is returning one file.
fl = []
WORKING_DIR='../'+sys.argv[1]+'/'
def find_case_insensitve(dirname, extensions):
WORKING_DIR='../'+sys.argv[1]+'/'
for filename in glob.glob(dirname):
base, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
if ext.lower() in extensions:
fl.append(filename)
return list(fl)
print(fl)


fln=find_case_insensitve(WORKING_DIR+"*", ['.sql'])
print(fln)

Post your code again in Python code tags, so it will be readable. You can find help here.

fl = []
WORKING_DIR='../'+sys.argv[1]+'/'
def find_case_insensitve(dirname, extensions):
WORKING_DIR='../'+sys.argv[1]+'/'
for filename in glob.glob(dirname):
base, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
if ext.lower() in extensions:
fl.append(filename)
return list(fl)
print(fl)


fln=find_case_insensitve(WORKING_DIR+"*", ['.sql'])
print(fln)

Please, fix the indentation!

Please, fix the indentation!

Quickest way to do this is to use ctrl+shift+v when copy-pasting code.

Here is how I would do with pathlib

from pathlib import Path

def find_case_insensitive(dirname, extensions):
    sufset = set(x.lower() for x in extensions)
    return [f for f in Path(dirname).iterdir()
            if f.suffix.lower() in sufset]

if __name__ == '__main__':
    working_dir = Path('..')/'2018-01'
    print(working_dir)
    print(find_case_insensitive(working_dir, ['.py', '.csv']))

Actually, it would be more python3ish to return an iterable from find_case_insensitive()
instead of a list.

[raopatwari]

fl = []
fln = []
WORKING_DIR='../'+sys.argv[1]+'/'
def find_case_insensitve(dirname, extensions):
    WORKING_DIR='../'+sys.argv[1]+'/'
    for filename in glob.glob(dirname):
        base, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
        if ext.lower() in extensions:
           fl.append(filename)
           #print(filename)
           return list(fl)

btw, I just started coding today in python. I guess I have to go long way
I can print(filename) when I comment return list(fl)
I want to use in the following way

fln=find_case_insensitve(WORKING_DIR+"*", [".sql"])
print(fln)

I will be using fln array in some other function

If you want to use glob library there is no need to use os.path.splitext to get the extension:

import glob
import sys

extensions = ('mp3', 'avi', 'mp4', 'mkv']

def find_media_files(path, files):
    result = []

    for ext in files:
        pattern = path + '/*.' + ext # this will become /path/*.mp3 to search for.
        found = glob.glob(pattern)
        result.extend(found)
    
    return result

my_collection = find_media_files(sys.argv[1], extensions)

for file_ in my_collection:
    print(file_)
