I am learning python from books and this mailing list. I used the
suggestions to come up with this;
#!/usr/bin/python
# Filename : new_remove-file.py
import os
import sys
import glob
dir_input = raw_input('Enter dir: ')
win_trace = ['*.ini', '*.db']
files_removed = 0
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(dir_input):
for trace in win_trace:
win_trace_path = os.path.join(root, trace)
for filename in glob.glob(win_trace_path):
if os.path.exists(filename):
print filename
else:
print 'No files found'
confirmation = raw_input('Confirm removal: ')
if confirmation == 'y':
print "removing '%s'" % filename
os.remove(filename)
files_removed += 1
elif confirmation == 'n':
pass
else:
sys.exit()
if files_removed :
print '%d files removed' % files_removed
else :
print 'No files found'
Here is the output;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ./new_remove_file.py
Enter dir: test
test/test.ini
test/test.db
Confirm removal: y
removing 'test/test.db'
1 files removed
Please point me in the direction as to why only one file is removed.
thanks
