python iterate through files in directory code example

Example 1: iterate through all files in directory python

import os
directory = 'the/directory/you/want/to/use'

for filename in os.listdir(directory):
    if filename.endswith(".txt"):
      #do smth
      continue
    else:
    continue

Example 2: python loop through files in directory

import os

for filename in os.listdir(directory):
    if filename.endswith(".asm") or filename.endswith(".py"): 
         # print(os.path.join(directory, filename))
        continue
    else:
        continue

Example 3: python iterate through files in directory

import os

for filename in os.listdir(directory):
    if filename.endswith(".asm") or filename.endswith(".py"): 
         # print(os.path.join(directory, filename))
        continue
    else:
        continue

Example 4: traverse files in directory python

# python 3
import os

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(dir_path):
    print(dirpath)
    print(dirnames)
    print(filenames)
    
# python 2
import os.path

def print_it(x, dir_name, files):
    print(dir_name)
    print(files)

os.path.walk(your_dir, print_it, 0)

Example 5: python loop opening file from directory

basepath = "pathtodir/DataFiles/"
for filename in os.listdir(basepath):
    if filename.endswith(".log"): 
        print(os.path.join("./DataFiles", filename))

        with open(basepath + filename) as openfile:    
            for line in openfile:
            ........

Example 6: how to loop through glob.iglob iterator

import glob

globIterator = glob.iglob(path, recursive=True)

run = True
while(run == True):
    try:
        print(next(globIterator))
    except:
        run = False
