Here is some code that could be useful.... It does not check the
directories for 0 files, but that shouldn't be too difficult to add.
#############################################
from os import listdir, unlink
from os.path import isdir, isfile, islink, join, getmtime
deldir = "C:\Some\Dir"
delFileType = ".txt" # or You could use Regex.
# -------------------------------------
def del_entry(_name):
try:
if isdir(_name):
print "Do Nothing"
else:
#print "now"
unlink(_name) # or remove(_name)
sys.stdout.write("Delete FILE %s\n" % (_name))
except IOError:
sys.stderr.write("Cannot delete %s\n" % (_name))
# -------------------------------------
def list_dir(_dir,_action):
if not isdir(_dir):
print "%s is not a directory" % (_dir)
return
for file in listdir(_dir):
path = join(_dir, file)
if isdir(path):
list_dir(path, _action)
else:
# isfile() or islink()
if path.rfind(delFileType) != -1:
#print path
_action(path)
# Run it
list_dir(deldir, del_entry)

Hi,
I found a message on Jan 16, 2006 regarding the same topic, except
that I wanted to remove only certain files that satisfy the format
"ABC_XXX_XXX.dat", but not the other files. Once the files are
removed, if a folder becomes empty, I want to remove the folder as
well.
The solution to the Jan 16 2006 message required many lines of python
code. I was wondering if there is a simpler solution to my problem at
hand, perhaps by using more specialized functions?
Thanks!
bahoo
