在python中找到文件名中的模式

Question

I have the database with the specific names. I need to iterate the database records and find the records which have the appropriate pattern. For example: Pattern with wildcard: abc.*.cde File name: abc.123.cde

How can I check that the name "abc.123.cde" is a part of the pattern "abc.*.cde" ?

Answer 1

Seems I have to use the fnmatch module:

fnmatch.fnmatch(files, 'abc.*.cde')

Will return me the files according to the pattern.
