Locate & Open File - Using Python

For example, if I was to have it search and find a file named ex.exe, it should then prompt whether you'd like to open the file. Thank you.

This code worked for me you can check it out if it works for you too.

import os

def find_files(filename, search_path):
    result = []

    # Wlaking top-down from the root
    for root, dir, files in os.walk(search_path):
        if filename in files:
            result.append(os.path.join(root, filename))
    return result
find_files("sample.pdf", "E:\\")

If you want to look for folders you can try this worked perfectly for me.

import os
start = "E:\\"

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(start):
    if "dev" in dirnames :
        print(dirnames)

To execute an exe file you can use the below methods:

import os
path = "C:/"
os.chdir(path)
os.system("example.exe")

You can import os then with the help of os.system("pass any windows cmd here") like regular file search make it happen
