I tried the in method but it missed any other strings I put in, like
the pipe has no effect. More complex strings will likely be needed so
perhaps re might be better..?
Yes, in only works for simple strings. If you need combinations
then the regex is better
I have been playing with os.walk but im not sure if it is the best way.
It is almost certainly the best way.
I guess merging all of the files into one big one before the parse
would work but I would need help with that too.
You shouldn't need to do that. Your function can take a file and process
it so just use os.walk to feed it files one by one as you find them
If the file names vary you might find glob.glob useful too.
I show examples of using os,.walk and glob in the OS topic
in my tutorial. Look under the heading 'Manipulating Files'
