Quick Tip?

My brain seems to not be working today, so I thought I would ask for a little help. I have this program that searches for folders with certain names, but a problem occured when it found an xls document with the same name as the folders it was looking for. I realize I could just rename the xls document, but I would rather have the code omit files. Is there a way to do this, or have it so it only looks at folders and not files?

There are functions in the os module to help make those decisions. That assumes it is Python you are talking about.

Yes, it is Python. Sorry I didnt mention (remember brain not working comment? haha) I am a pure newbie so, I'm trying to figure out what you mean by "in the os module"...

The functions i think Grim was getting at is called os.path.isdir() which you can find in the os.path documentation - along with some others which you can also use to check if the path is this or that.

Just because your brain isn't working today here it is .
