Python glob matching file names?

Question

I am trying to use the glob module to make a list of all the Markdown files in my directory whose file paths contain either the strings abcd or test .

I know that this is successfully printing all the files in the directory:

print(glob.glob('**/*.md', recursive=True))

However, I want it to only match filepaths such as /home/users/a/abcd/one.md or /home/users/b/test/two.md or /home/users/c/subdir/test_or_abcd/three.md . I want it to not match filepaths like /home/users/a/other/result.md .

However, when I try to do this, it doesn't work:

print(glob.glob('**/*{abcd,test}.md', recursive=True))

Any suggestions or ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Do it as many filters u have ?

files = [
    *glob.glob('**/*abcd.md', recursive=True),
    *glob.glob('**/*test.md', recursive=True)
]
