directory-listing

I'm trying to get the contents of a directory using shell script. My script is: for entry in `ls $search_dir`; do echo $entry done where $search_dir is a relative path. However, $search_dir contains many files with whitespaces in their names. In that case, this script does not run as expected. I know I could use for entry in * , but that would only work for my current directory. I know I can change to that directory, use for entry in * then change back, but my particular situation prevents me from doing that. I have two relative paths $search_dir and $work_dir , and I have to work on both

I have a directory which contains several files, many of which has non-english name. I am using PHP in Windows 7. I want to list the filename and their content using PHP. Currently I am using DirectoryIterator and file_get_contents . This works for English files names but not for non-English (chinese) file names. For example, I have filenames like "एक और प्रोब्लेम.eml", "hello 鶨鶖鵨鶣鎹鎣.eml".

I am trying to get a list of files in a directory using Python, but I do not want a list of ALL the files. What I essentially want is the ability to do something like the following but using Python and not executing ls. ls 145592*.jpg If there is no built-in method for this, I am currently thinking of writing a for loop to iterate through the results of an os.listdir() and to append all the matching files to a new list. However, there are a lot of files in that directory and therefore I am hoping there is a more efficient method (or a built-in method). glob.glob('145592*.jpg') glob.glob() is

I often use python to process directories of data. Recently, I have noticed that the default order of the lists has changed to something almost nonsensical. For example, if I am in a current directory containing the following subdirectories: run01, run02, ... run19, run20, and then I generate a list from the following command: dir = os.listdir(os.getcwd()) then I usually get a list in this order: dir = ['run01', 'run18', 'run14', 'run13', 'run12', 'run11', 'run08', ... ] and so on. The order used to be alphanumeric. But this new order has remained with me for a while now. What is determining
