Searching files in directories

[Larry Bates]

Not tested but should be close:

import os
import shutil

files = ['file1.txt']
source_directory      = '/tmp/source/'
destination_directory = '/tmp/destination/'

for file in files:
    src=os.path.join(source_directory, file
    dst=os.path.join(destination_directory, file
    if os.path.exists(os.path.join(source_directory, file):
        shutil.copy(src, dst)
