Thank you everyone. It worked.
Here is the BETA 0.9 :)
import os, time, sys
from stat import *
def findfile(path):
file_list = []
for f in os.listdir(path):
filename = os.path.join(path, f)
if not os.path.isfile(filename):
print "*** Not a file:", repr(filename)
continue
create_date_secs = os.stat(filename)[ST_CTIME]
create_date = time.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S",
time.localtime(create_date_secs))
file_list.append((create_date, filename))
file_list.sort()
print file_list[-2]
return file_list[-2]
if __name__ == '__main__':
path = r'\\rad-db02-ny\c$\backup\rad_oltp'
create_date, prev_file = findfile(path)
print "Previous back file is: ", prev_file, " ", create_date
Now I am going to read this file and manupulate stuff with DB so I am
going to work on ODBC connection using python.. interesting stuff.
Thank you all,
hj
