# Basic syntax 1:
import glob
matching_files_list = glob.glob("/path/glob*pattern.txt")

# Basic syntax 2:
import os
import re
files = [f for f in os.listdir('/path') if re.match(r'regex_pattern', f)]

# Basic syntax 3:
import os
files = []
# Iterate through files in the your directory
for file in os.listdir("/path/to/your/directory"):
    # Look for files ending with .txt
    if file.endswith('.txt'):
        # Append found files to the files list
        files.append(file)

# If you want to look for files matching a pattern, you could do something like:
files = []
# Iterate through files in the your directory
for file in os.listdir("/path/to/your/directory"):
    # Look for files that contain "my_pattern" in their name
    if "my_pattern" in file:
        # Append files containing "my_pattern" to the files list
        files.append(file)
