Too much code - slicing

I need to create a simple utility to remove characters from either the right or left side of directories. This works, but there has to be a better way. I tried to use a variable inside the brackets but I can't get that to work. Can anyone think of a way to do this with less code? Thanks! import

Hi group, I have a text file that contains thousands of lines and each line is 256 characters long. This is my task: For each line in the file, move to the 25th character, if the character is a "T", move to the 35th character of the line and read 5 characters from there. Capture these 5 characters

linux disc space

I simply want to capture the free disc space in a variable so that I can compare changes. I'm aware of a few commands like "df -h" or "du - k", but I can't figure out how to capture those values as a variable. I also looked at os.statvfs(), but that output doesn't seem to make any sense at all to

I'm confused. Why is it that when I say "while len(list) < 5:", I get 5 items in my list. If I say "while len(list) < 6:", I get 6 items in the list and so on. I would think if I said "less than 5", I would get 4 items. Can anyone explain this? Thanks. R.D. # Start an empty list list = [] while
