Path / Listing and os.walk problem.

[Alban Nona]

Hi

So here is my problem:

I have my render files that are into a directory like this:

c:\log\renderfiles\HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_DIF_V001.0001.exr
c:\log\renderfiles\HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_DIF_V001.0002.exr
c:\log\renderfiles\HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_DIF_V001.0003.exr
....
c:\log\renderfiles\HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_AMB_V001.0001.exr
c:\log\renderfiles\HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_AMB_V001.0002.exr
c:\log\renderfiles\HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_AMB_V001.0003.exr

True is, there is like 1000 Files is the directory (C:\log\renderfiles\)

What Iam looking to is to extract the first part of the filenames as a list,
but I dont want the script to extract it 1000times, I mean I dont need it
to extract HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_AMB 150 times, because there is 150 Frames.
(not sure if its clear tought)

so far, I would like the list to look lik:

["HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_DIF", "HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_AMB", etc...]


I start to think about that, to try to use a

for (path, dirs, files) in os.walk(path):
    list.append(files)


but this kind of thing will just append the whole 1000 files, thing that I
dont want, and more complicated I dont want the thing after "AMB" or "DIF"
in the name files to follow.
(thing I can delete using a split, if I read well ?)


I trying to search on internet for answer, but seems I find nothing about
it.
Someone can help me with that please, show me the way or something ?

Thank you ! :)
