regex problem with re and fnmatch

Hi,
I would like to use re to search for lines in a files with
the word "README_x.org", where x is any number.
E.g. the structure would look like this:
[[file:~/pfm_v99/README_1.org]]
I tried to use these kind of matchings:
# org_files='.*README\_1.org]]'
org_files='.*README\_*.org]]'
if re.match(org_files,line):
Unfortunately, it matches all entries with "README.org", but
not the wanted number!?
After some splitting and replacing I am able to check, if
the above file exists. If it does not, I start to search for
it using the 'walk' procedure:
for root, dirs, files in
os.walk("/home/fab/org"):
for name in dirs:
dirs=os.path.join(root, name) + '/'
for name in files:
files=os.path.join(root, name)
if fnmatch.fnmatch(str(files), "README*"):
print "File Found"
print str(files)
break
As soon as it finds the file, it should stop the searching
process; but there is the same matching problem like above.
Does anyone have any suggestions about the regex problem?
Greetings!
Fabian
