Path / Listing and os.walk problem.

[Alban Nona]

Hey ! Thank you guys !
It help me a lot !

@Dennis (Gomes): Thanks ! I tried it it worked well but list me the whole
files :P (and finally crashed python...lol)

I looked at the Peter method and, Im really dumb to didnt tough about
defining a pattern like *_v001.0001.exr * like this, it sort me only one
frame...which is perfect and less memory consuming I guess.

And glob use seems to be perfect for what I want to do ! so thank you to
point me in this direction :p

I tried also the Peter code, and it give me a good listing of my element
like I wanted:

HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_ALB
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_AMB
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_BTY
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_Cutouts_ALB
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_Cutouts_AMB
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_Cutouts_DET
....
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_DET
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_DIF
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_DPF
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_Decals_ALB
....
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_ALB
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_AMB
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_BTY
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_DIF
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_DPF
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDM_Fresnel_mat


Unfortunatly, a new problem come to me, I looking to get that kind of  list:

HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_Cutouts
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_Cutouts
HPO7_SEQ004_031_VDMRoom_Cutouts
....

Right now, Im looking the documentation to find a way to do it, Im thinking
about string methods, I also though: " hey, I just have to delete the 4 last
characters, but na ! itll not work because sometime I have something like
"_Fresnel_mat'' which is of course more than 4 chars...)

Maybe the best would be to declare something like "in the string, look at
the last "_" and delete it + whatever there is after"
but I didnt find how to do it, I mean I tried splitext which is, not
appropriate.

Do I have to declare a list of element like:
elementList: ["_ALB", "AMB", "_Beauty", etc...]
and to search that pattern in the files name to remove it after ? it seems
not bad as solution, but I pretty sure there is a better way to do it.

right ?

anyway, thank very much guys ! :)
and have a good day !
