About once a year, I have to learn yet another programming language. Given all the recommendations (an outstanding accolade from Bruce Eckel, author of "Thinking in Java") I have set my aim to Python. Sounds kinda cool.
The indentation-as-block is unique, but that is how I always indent, anyway. Can any of you nice folks post a snippet of how to perform a listing of the current directory and save it in a string? Something like this: $ setenv FILES = `ls` Bonus: Let's say that I want to convert the names of the files to lowercase? As 'tolower()' TIA, -Ramon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
