list files not containing _ab
 |
i am using glob.glob('') function to get a list of all files from a folder. I need to get only those names which do not contain '_ab' in it. How is it possible. I understand the need for regular expressions here. i tried (?!....) . what should work here.
example :
x = glob.glob('c:\temp\*ab*')
this returns all files containing ab in it. What should i write here so that it returns only those that do not contain ab in it

Hi,
thank you for that thought. It worked. It had this change in it.
x = [f for f in glob.glob('e:\\test\\*.*') if '_ab' not in f]
print len(x)
x = [f for f in glob.glob('e:\\test\\*.*') if '_ab' in f]
print len(x)
