If you are a lucky Unix/Linux/MacOS user:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
# find files
import os
cmd = 'find apps/name/ -type f -name "*.js" -print'     # find is a standard Unix tool
for filename in os.popen(cmd).readlines():              # run find command
    # do something with filename 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

find is very powerful, really.


Have anice day
