Thank you Muskrat for your reply. I did infact include the actual code i was running, both in the reply to the post (Anonymous Monk on Jan 29, 2016 at 20:09 UTC) and in my edit to the OP. I've just had to change the directory paths/names to something else because of security/proprietary reasons.

I'm going to try your implementation now but one thing that i'm concnerned about in your code is you have the comment: # there may be multiple directories containing desired_file.txt

in the /home/myfiles/day_of_year/4257/ directory there are multiple folders. One of those folders (with unknown name) has a path that leads to the single file desired_file.txt.
