python + how to verify if variable include charecter

I created the following simple python script that runs on linux - python ver 2.X

 #!/usr/bin/python


 def GetListfiles():
        LS = (commands.getstatusoutput(" ls  "))
        return LS 

 AA = GetListfiles()

 for filename in AA:
       print "------------"
       print filename

after I run my script I get this output:

file.txt
file1.txt
file2.txt

why I not get output as like this?

------------
file.txt
------------
file1.txt
------------
file2.txt

what I need to change in my code ?

You need to split the file names.

commands.getstatusoutput(" ls  ")

returns a tuple - 2 items that looks like this:

(0, 'filename.txt\nfilename1.txt\nfilename2.txt')

so it is prinitng ----- then 0, ----- again and then the string filename.txt\nfilename1.txt\nfilename2.txt which appears as this:

--------------
0
--------------
filename.txt
filename1.txt
filename2.txt

So to get one line between each, do this:

def GetListfiles():
    LS = (commands.getstatusoutput(" ls  "))
    return LS

AA = GetListfiles()

AA = AA[1].split('\n')

for filename in AA:
    print "---------------"
    print filename

To check the file name includes the text txt, do this:

for filename in AA:
    print "---------------"
    if "txt" in filename:
        print filename

This will do what you're intending in pure Python:

import glob

filenames = glob.glob('*')

for filename in filenames:
    print "------------"
    print filename
