Hi, this is my first post here. And I am new to python.
I have script which supposed to read in a series of files in the format "myfile..obj" where "" is a sequential no. (001,002...) but when I run the script, it seems that it have difficulty recognizing the "*" thing, it run without problem when a specified the file name like "myfile.0001.obj". I would be appreciated if can give me some pointer on what's going wrong. I feel lost because while there is so many information about python in the net, it is so difficult to find solution for specific question like that.
Any idea will be much appreciated.
Thanks

# Command line options:
# h - show help on usage
# o - provide output .pc2 filename, default is constructed from first obj file
# s - provide start frame for .pc2 header, default is 1
# f - provide sample rate for .pc2 header, default is 1
