Here is the latest version of the code: currentdata_file = r"C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\newdata.txt" # the latest download from the clock lastdata_file = r"C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\mydata.txt" # the prior download from the clock output_file = r"C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\out.txt" # will hold delta clock data
newdata = open(currentdata_file).read()[len(open(lastdata_file).read ()):] newdata2 = newdata.strip() file = open(output_file, 'w') file.write(newdata2) file.close() Do I need to close currentdata_file and lastdata_file ? Have not gotten the os.stat example to work yet... thanks for the help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
