I am using this code to find files recursively in a folder , with size greater than 50000 bytes.
def listall(parent):
lis=[]
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(parent):
for name in files:
if os.path.getsize(os.path.join(root,name))>500000:
lis.append(os.path.join(root,name))
return lis
This is working fine.
But when I used this on '
temporary internet files' folder in windows, am getting this error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#4>", line 1,
in <module> listall(a) File "<pyshell#2>",
line 5, in listall if os.path.getsize(os.path.join(root,name))>500000:
File "C:\Python26\lib\genericpath.py", line 49, in getsize return os.stat(filename).st_size WindowsError: [Error 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\khedarnatha\\Local Settings\\Temporary Internet Files\\Content.IE5\\EDS8C2V7\\??????+1[1].jpg'
I think this is because windows gives names with special characters in this specific folder...
Please help to sort out this issue.
