I have the simplest need...to read a file full of file names(unc) and
then check to see if each of these files exists. I tried with the
following program, but always get file not found, even when it is
there. If I type in the file name as a literal it works...
Little program:
#This module checks for file existence
import string
import sys
def MainProcess():
fileList = "c:\a_list_of_filenames.txt"
inputFiles = open(fileList,"r")
cnt = 0
cntNotFound = 0
for x in inputFiles:
cnt = cnt + 1
try:
x = x.replace("\\","\\\\")
x = x.replace("\n","")
open(x,"rb")
#open('\\\\myserver\\myshare\\myfile.dat',"r") #works when
hard coded like this
except IOError, (errno, strerror):
print "I/O error(%s): %s" % (errno, strerror)
cntNotFound = cntNotFound + 1
print x + " Not Found"
except ValueError, (errno,strerror):
print "Some other error! " + str(errno) + " " + strerror
else:
print "Found " + x
print str(cnt) + " total..."
print str(cntNotFound) + " not found..."
if __name__ == '__main__':
MainProcess()
Many thanks to anyone in advance to can tell me what I am doing wrong!
