[Zope] polling a file system

[hohage]

Hello Andy,
make an external python script and use this one->

def Walk( root, recurse=0, pattern='*', return_folders=0 ):
	import fnmatch, os, string

	# initialize
	result = []

	# must have at least root folder
	try:
		names = os.listdir(root)
	except os.error:
		return result

	# expand pattern
	pattern = pattern or '*'
	pat_list = string.splitfields( pattern , ';' )

	# check each file
	for name in names:
		fullname = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(root, name))

		# grab if it matches our pattern and entry type
		for pat in pat_list:
			if fnmatch.fnmatch(name, pat):
				if os.path.isfile(fullname) or (return_folders and 
os.path.isdir(fullname)):
					result.append(fullname)
				continue

		# recursively scan other folders, appending results
		if recurse:
			if os.path.isdir(fullname) and not os.path.islink(fullname):
				result = result + Walk( fullname, recurse, pattern, return_folders )

	return result

if __name__ == '__main__':
	# test code
	print '\nExample 1:'
	files = Walk('.', 1, '*', 1)
	print 'There are %s files below current location:' % len(files)
	for file in files:
		print file

	print '\nExample 2:'
	files = Walk('.', 1, '*.py;*.html')
	print 'There are %s files below current location:' % len(files)
	for file in files:
		print file

You have to adjust it to your needs!
