globbing problems

[Laurent Szyster]

Magnus,

AFAIK glob is implemented as its UN*X sibbling. So:

   glob(r'c:\Foo Bar\*.foo')

is equivalent to:

   glob(r'c:\Foo)+ glob(r'Bar\*.foo')

it consider the string passed as a list of pattern to "glob",
separated by white spaces.

i suggest you use:

   glob(r'c:\Foo?Bar\*.foo')

or use a wrapper:

   def my_glob(s):
       return glob(s.replace (' ', '?'))
