i agree with you, it is better to find by ourself. i managed to do it, but i left the code at work. i used the re module , using a re.match("Results Log") and a re.search(date) with a function to find the date og the day with the appropriate format.
Is it ok to use re for file names? or fnmatch is more efficient? thanks anyway! Nassim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
