use the glob module, it should be a pefect fit for you. it does 
unixy-wildcard matching on filenames and paths.

import glob
filenames = glob.glob(r'C:\Python22\data\ProjectName\*\FileName?.*')
for filename in filenames:
	processfile(filename)

it seems very strange to me that you care keeping these thousands of 
data files inside the C:\Python22 directory?
