Solution

  • If I get your problem right you can achieve your goal using Pythons's os.walk function, like so:

    import os
for root, dirs, files in os.walk("<starting folder here>", topdown=False):
    for name in files:
        if name == "tv.sas7bdat":
            print(os.path.join(root, name))
