i'm a beginner in Python, and try to use the os module to find and aggregate all files in a given folder, given a key word such as "example".

Based on what I found so far, here is my code :

def import_files_list(path, key_word):

files = 

for i in os.listdir(path):

    if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path,i)) and key_word in i:

        file_plus_path = path+i

        pprint(file_plus_path)

        files.append(file_plus_path)

return files



actual_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

wanted_dir = os.path.split(actual_dir)[0]

files_list = import_files_list(wanted_dir, 'example') 

pprint(files_list)

The thing is that, instead of getting for instance :

'C:\Users\User\folder\example1.csv'

I'm getting :

'C:\Users\User\folderexample1.csv'

So this is not correct.

I don't want to hardcode anything such as "" to solve the problem, and I'm pretty sure I could also simplify the above code.

Could you help me and tell me here I am wrong ?

Your problem is this line:

    file_plus_path = path+i

Here you append one string to another, but without any delimiter between them. On the previous line you did it correctly: os.path.join(path,i).

So here's a way to correct that:

file_plus_path = os.path.join(path,i)

if os.path.isfile(file_plus_path) and key_word in i:

    pprint(file_plus_path)

    files.append(file_plus_path)
