Regex Python Help

[Gregg Dotoli]

Thank you Gary, that got rid of the error, but now there is no tree walk, it runs and immediatley finishes. I just need to grep each file. I have this working with the windows "for /r %a and redirecting that to Python, but want to use Python only. I do have dummy files with the regex string.

Thanks again,
Gregg
