ST_CTIME convert to yyyymmdd
Hi, Any hint on converting time from ST_CTIME secs into mmdd format? sorry for one-liner stupid question.. I couldn;t find (or rather figure out) in docs. Thank you, hj -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: ST_CTIME convert to yyyymmdd
All right I got it. Thank you anyway...
create_date = os.stat(pathname)[ST_CTIME]
print time.strftime("%Y%m%d", time.gmtime(create_date))

Getting previous file name
Hi,
I have a small script here that goes to inside dir and sorts the file
by create date. I can return the create date but I don't know how to
find the name of that file...
I need file that is not latest but was created before the last file.
Any hints... I am newbiw python dude and still trying to figure out lot
of 'stuff'..
import os, time, sys
from stat import *
def walktree(path):
test1 = []
for f in os.listdir(path):
filename = os.path.join(path, f)
create_date_sces = os.stat(filename)[ST_CTIME]
create_date = time.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S",
time.localtime(create_date_sces))
print create_date, " ." , f
test1.append(create_date)
test1.sort()
print test1
return test1[-2]
if __name__ == '__main__':
path = 'srv12\\c$\\backup\\my_folder\\'
prev_file = walktree(path)
print "Previous back file is ", prev_file
Thank you,
hj

Re: Getting previous file name
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

Adding a char inside path string
Hi, I get path strings from a DB like: \\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example.exe I am writing a script that can give me access to that exe file. But problem is that string is not universal path, I need to add C$. Any idea how I can add $ char in that string. ServerName is not fixed length. It could be any chars length. Thank you, hj -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Adding a char inside path string
Thank you Fredrik. That works for a string.
But I am getting list of tuples from DB.
rows = [('\\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example.exe',),
('\\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example2.exe',),
('\\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example3.exe',),
('\\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example4.exe',)]
I tried this:
for i in rows:
row = str(i)
path = row.replace("C:" , "c$")
print path
I am getting path something like
('\\serverName\c$:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example.exe',)
How on the earth I can remove those paranthesis?

Thank you all it worked!.
Tim,

What are those two forward slashes for?
I had to remove them otherwise I was getting output like '\\'
inside list or if I print I was getting like \\\
Thanks,

Documentation Question About Depricated String Functions
Hi, In python doc -- 4.1.4 Deprecated string functions -- I read that "The following list of functions are also defined as methods of string and Unicode objects; see ``String Methods'' (section 2.3.6) for more information on those. You should consider these functions as deprecated, although they will not be removed until Python 3.0. The functions defined in this module are: " and there is a whole list of functions. If these functions are deprecated what is the replacement for them? I couldn't find that info in the doc. Any links will be helpful.

Re: Adding a char inside path string
Hi,
Everything is working fine and dandy but I ran across another issue
here.
Some of the path comes with some extra chars padded at the end.
i.e.
'\\serverName\C:\FolderName1\FolderName2\example.exe' -u ABC -g XYZ
abcdef
Now those padded chars are not constant all the time. It can be
anything.
Only common denometer in each string that comes with those padded chars
is that it is after .exe and then there is space and then 99% of the
time it is -u and then there can be anything, I meant its dynemic after
that.
so I am using string1.find(".exe") and could retrive the index but
don't know how to get rid any garbase after index + 4

Re: Adding a char inside path string
That might work but what if I get (in future) a path name where
foldername (and in windows it is very common, someone might name a
folder something like "Screw You") with space?

Re: Adding a char inside path string
anything after .exe should be truncated (or deleted).

Re: Adding a char inside path string
Here is a mediocare solution.
def TruncateString(s, Tindex):
return string.ljust(s,Tindex){:Tindex]
s = '\\serverName\\C:\\Folder Name1\\FolderName2\\example.exe -u ABC -g
XYZ'
Sindex = s.find(".exe")
Sindex = Tindex +4
s1 = TruncateString(s, Sindex)

Re: Adding a char inside path string
I post a crappy solution but I can add few more stuff to make it fail
proof.
i.e. I can search for ".exe -u"
But if someone names folder like "folder.exe u". This script could
fail.
Or if in padded garbase I get ".exe u"
These are two known issues I have to takcle.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Re: Adding a char inside path string
How about this:
def TruncateString(s, Tindex):
return string.ljust(s,Tindex){:Tindex]
s = '\\serverName\\C:\\Folder Name1\\FolderName2\\example.exe -u ABC -g
XYZ'
try:
Sindex = s.find(".exe")
if Sindex > 0:
Sindex = Tindex + 4
s1 = TruncateString(s, Sindex)
except:
pass

MS SQL Database connection
Hi currently I am using DNS and ODBC to connect to MS SQL database. Is there any other non-dns way to connect? If I want to run my script from different server I first have to create the DNS in win2k3. Thank you, hj -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

glob.glob output
import string
import os
f = open ("c:\\servername.txt", 'r')
linelist = f.read()
lineLog = string.split(linelist, '\n')
lineLog = lineLog [:-1]
#print lineLog
for l in lineLog:
path1 = "" + l + "\\server*\\*\\xtRec*"
glob.glob(path1)
When I run above from command line python, It prints the output of
glob.glob but when I run it as a script, it does not print
anything I know that there are files like xtRec* inside those
folders.. and glob.glob does spits the path if run from python command
line.
I tried something like this but did not work:
for l in lineLog:
path1 = "" + l + "\\server*\\*\\xtRec*"
xtRec = glob.glob(path1)
print xtRec
No results...
xtRec = []
for l in lineLog:
path1 = "" + l + "\\server*\\*\\xtRec*"
xtrec = glob.glob(path1)
print xtRec
No luck here either.
Seems like I am doing here something reallt silly mistake..
Thank you,

Thank you for your reply.

xtRec* exist or not.
I am newbie so exuse my ignorance... still learning.
Somehow when I tried your solution, it takes 10mins to scan 200 plus
servers but when I tried my code, it takes less then 2 mins.
This is a puzzle for me, I gotta figure it out.

Is there any better way to approach this problem?
Hi, I am newbie python dude. I need few hints. I created a DB table with following fields UserID(PK), TimeStamp, Version, IP, Port I need to insert these info from this .log file and the log file has lines like following with some junk garbase like "attempt using client software " I need to get rid of that. 10:03:54.527 (01) - User (xxx123) login attempt using client software version (1.0.1.1) from IP (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) port () Create a while 1 loop, read line from file.. disect line and insert 'stuff' into those variables and then run a query from inside the python to insert data... and do this untill EOF... Is there any better way to approach this problem? so if I have variable , let's say, TimeStamp, UserID, Version, IPAddress and PortNum.. how can I disect this line and insert into this variable?

What am I doing wrong here
Hi,
I wanted to pass a popup mesage using windows messagin service to five
PCs.
If I just use following then PC1 gets the popup service message:
import os
os.system('net send PC1 "Message"')
But if I try to create a for loop like this it doesn't work how can
I pass computerName var as an argument?
What am I doing wrong here? Thank you in advance
import os
Computerlist = ['PC1', 'PC2', 'PC3', 'PC4', 'PC5']
for ComputerName in Computerlist:
print ComputerName
os.system('net send ComputerName "Message"')

messages are not popping up on the windows screen if I use this method:

for ComputerName in Computerlist:
print ComputerName
