What kind of wildcard pattern are you after? Prefix? Suffix? Both? Arbitrary characters in between? I don't really understand the example that filters twice. Seems you already figured out how to do an endswith() to filter a list on suffix matches and that sounds like the wildcard approach you wanted. In general you can either use fnmatch or regular expressions for arbitrary wildcard matching: https://docs.python.org/2/library/fnmatch.html https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/382eb1c5-4350-4942-822d-5f17105528e4%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/382eb1c5-4350-4942-822d-5f17105528e4%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
