The program code is not mine, but I wanted to modify it to produce an
Analysis folder when the user wants histogram file, basically, a txt
file to appear in Analysis.
Elsewhere in the program this is done for another type of data that is
directed to an Events folder. I figured I could copy the code from there
and use it here. Here's other code for Events.
# He's building a time stamp for the file name.
# I'll use this with a slight modification to the name in
# my code
millisecs = int((event_time - int(event_time))*100)
s = "v%4d%02d%02d_%02d%02d%02d.%02d.dat" % (
t.tm_year, t.tm_mon, t.tm_mday,
t.tm_hour, t.tm_min, t.tm_sec, millisecs )
#OK, he's got the file name assembled
s = os.path.join("Events",s)
if not os.path.exists("Events"):
os.mkdir("Events")
f = file( s, "wb" )
if not f:
self.LogError( "File creation error 1" )
return False
I caused the redundancy by just changing the meaning of s with a new
statement below it. I should have commented the first one out. Yeah, I
probably screwed up here and should have and,for purposes of debugging,
just used another file name like s="ADATAFILE2009_mmdd.txt", which does
not exist at this point of the coding stage. So I should have produced
Analysis\ADATAFILE2009_mmdd.txt. If I had done that then I would have
ended up with an empty file in the Analysis folder. However, even at
that, why can't I delete this empty file called Analysis?
When I said I was able to get rid of the "file", it's probably because I
had rebooted at some time after I puzzled over the problem, and now OS
somehow released it's grip, that is, whatever process was trying to use
the "file" too.

There is no file created, just the folders Analysis\Analysis. One too
many. The second Analysis shows as an icon for a file of size 0KB.
I printed with the debug print above:
Path for Histogram Events\v20070206_055012.06.dat

Analysis\Analysis should only be Analysis.
Huh?? s = os.path.join("fubar", "fubar") should produce r"fubar
\fubar" (as documented) ... If you don't want s to refer to r"Analysis
\Analysis", then quite simply don't do that!
