I have a dict with files:

```
files = {
    "/test/path/file1.c": "NotImportant",
    "/test/path/file2.c": "NotImportant",
    "/other/path/filex.c": "NotImportant",
    "/different/path/filez.c": "NotImportant"
    }

```

I now have a dict e.g. `path = '/test/path/'` and I want to see which file is in this specific path.
I tried it with

```
if path in files:
    print("found")

```

However this is not working for me. I solved it with a loop going through every file and checking with the same statement. Is there still another way to solve it?

My solution:

```
for file in files:
    if path in file:
        print("found")

```

Why does the statement work here and not before? I want to have a better solution instead of looping over the whole files.
