Thanks Dennis, I'm feeling very stupid. You're right about the config
file containing drive/path/filenames (eg. c:\python24\*.exe or
whatever). I want to output a text file that contains records like
c:\python24\pythonw.exe[tab]md5 value, ... next file record. The
following snippet works but I don't know how to loop through using the
config value to get e glob for each file. I'll keep working at it.
filelist = glob.glob('c:\\python24\\*.exe')
# print 'filelist is', filelist
for fn in filelist:
data = file(fn,'rb').read()
hexstring = md5.md5(data).hexdigest()
f.write(fn + '\t' + hexstring + '\n')
f.close()
Thanks.
