META-ADVICE: kNish, when you're posting a question, please,
please, post post the traceback you got. Cut-and-paste it from 
the console window into the email.

I'm not going to try to decode the re, but I can point out a few
things:

+ You might want to look into os.path.join for the glob line, altho'
what you've got seems all right.

+ To get the last item in a list L (or the last nth item) you can use
L[-1] (or L[-n]).

What problem are you trying to solve here?
