the following code attempts to extract a symbol name from a string:
extensionStart = int(filename.rfind('.'))
filenameStart = int(filename.rfind('/'))
#print 'Extension Start - ' + str(extensionStart)
#print 'FileName Start - ' + str(filenameStart)
currentSymbol=filename[int(filenameStart),int(extensionStart)]
Uncommenting the print statements clearly show the values to be
integers (and without the str casts actually provide int+string
errors)
However, executing this code results in...
opening - /Users/rmac/Documents/Sandbox/data/MarketData/AA.csv
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "rHistFileToDB_Equities.py", line 25, in <module>
currentSymbol=filename[int(filenameStart),int(extensionStart)]
TypeError: string indices must be integers
