Take a look at the manpage for lsof (list open files). You would have to parse the output to find the directory and file name(s).

i am not getting the result exactly with Isof i am using the windows 7 and python 2.7 version...
Using Isof i can get the CPU utilities but i required the current status of a file, whether the file is opened by another process or not...
Eg:
If i have a folder in that 10 text files are there and 5 files are currently opened by another application and using the files i want the total file names and also the files which are current in use...
Thanks for your response...

Regards,

There is no way to do this on Windows that I am aware of. I've looked!
