Hello All,
I am parsing a log file to extract data for the last one week from the
current date. The log file does not record the year, only month, day of
the month and time.
My question is, the date is in "Month day-of-the-month time" format in
the log file (ex. "Nov 22 15:15:42") and the current date I get from
"datetime" module is in ISO format. How do I convert the date in log
file to ISO format(or any other format) and then compare with the
current date/time.
Look at time.strptime() or datetime.strptime().
This method takes the string to be parsed and the format of the string.
For eg:
time_object = time.strptime("Nov 22 15:15:42", "%b %d %H:%M:%S")
This will give you a time object on which you can call strftime(format,
time_object) where format is any format you want.
In your particular case, the year will default to 1900, you may want to
explicitly supply the year like strptime("2008 Nov 22 15:15:42", "%Y %b
%d %H:%M:%S").
