Python Project With Source Code - String Search From Multiple Files

Python Project With Source Code - String Search From Multiple Files

String search from multiple files

Finds a file with the inputted string in the specified folder of your choice.

Prerequisites

Python3 is the only prerequisites! No external modules are needed to run.

How to run the script

In order to run this script you must have Python3 installed, not Python2. The

command to run this is simply `python3 findstring.py`, and you'll be

prompted with two questions, the string to search, and where to look.

Source Code:

import os

text = input("input text : ")

path = input("path : ")

# os.chdir(path)

def getfiles(path):

f = 0

os.chdir(path)

files = os.listdir()

# print(files)

for file_name in files:

abs_path = os.path.abspath(file_name)

if os.path.isdir(abs_path):

getfiles(abs_path)

if os.path.isfile(abs_path):

f = open(file_name, "r")

if text in f.read():

f = 1

print(text + " found in ")

final_path = os.path.abspath(file_name)

print(final_path)

return True

if f == 1:

print(text + " not found! ")

return False

getfiles(path)
