Question

def path(request, mypath):
    mypath = request.path_info
    _listdir = os.listdir(mypath)  # ['folder1', 'folder2', 'folder3', 'folder4']
    mess = _listdir
    a = ' '
    x=0
    scope = vars()  

    for i in mess:  
        scope['x']+=1  
        a += mess[x]
        a += '\n'

    return HttpResponse(a)

I hope the output is like this:

folder1
folder2
folder3
folder4

but why the output just like this:

folder1
folder1
folder1
folder1

any help?

Answer 1

I hope the output is like this:

folder1
folder2
folder3
folder4

Thus shall you have your output…

for i in os.listdir(mypath):
    print i

You can return the i in the loop with HttpResponse there should be no problem, do this

returnString = ""
for i in os.listdir(mypath):
    returnString = returnString + i + "\n"

return returnString
