If you are a lucky Unix/Linux/MacOS user:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
# find files
import os
cmd = 'find apps/name/ -type f -name "*.js" -print' # find is a standard
Unix tool
for filename in os.popen(cmd).readlines(): # run find command
# do something with filename
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
find is very powerful, really.
Have anice day
