listing gis files on disc

$

I have found this script to list shapefiles/geodatabases/dbase files/coverages on a disc.
The script runs well, BUT when i run it a second time, datalines are addded,; so my listing is getting larger every time.
I suppose it is because I use that yield command? Is there a way to avoid this? I am a new user of python/arc python. Can anyoen help me a little bit. I have already read that yield is difficult to understand for new users.
Thanks in advance,
Bart De Bruyn
