I learned that I can check the existence of a file using
os.path.isfile("filename").
What if I need to check if there is a file that contains "HV" in the
filename?  What should I do?

<code>
    from __future__ import print_function
    import os

    for filename in os.listdir( "." ):
        if "HV" in filename.upper():
            print( filename )
</code>


Cheers & hth.,

Or learn the glob module.  It allows you to ask for a list of files 
matching a pattern that can include wildcard characters  -- probably 
"*HV*" for your case.
