| .. function:: fnmatch(filename, pattern) |
| |
| Test whether the *filename* string matches the *pattern* string, returning true |
| or false. If the operating system is case-insensitive, then both parameters |
| will be normalized to all lower- or upper-case before the comparison is |
| performed. If you require a case-sensitive comparison regardless of whether |
| that's standard for your operating system, use :func:`fnmatchcase` instead. |
| |
n | This example will print all file names in the current directory with the |
| extension ``.txt``:: |
| |
| import fnmatch |
| import os |
| |
| for file in os.listdir('.'): |
| if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, '*.txt'): |
| print file |
| |
| |
| .. function:: fnmatchcase(filename, pattern) |
| |
| Test whether *filename* matches *pattern*, returning true or false; the |
| comparison is case-sensitive. |
| |
| |
| .. function:: filter(names, pattern) |
| |
| Return the subset of the list of *names* that match *pattern*. It is the same as |
| ``[n for n in names if fnmatch(n, pattern)]``, but implemented more efficiently. |
| |
| .. versionadded:: 2.2 |
| |
| |
t | .. function:: translate(pattern) |
| |
| Return the shell-style *pattern* converted to a regular expression. |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| >>> import fnmatch, re |
| >>> |
| >>> regex = fnmatch.translate('*.txt') |
| >>> regex |
| '.*\\.txt$' |
| >>> reobj = re.compile(regex) |
| >>> print reobj.match('foobar.txt') |
| <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x...> |
