People, I am trying to determine the creation date of files in a folder. I am using the following code to find the folder and confirm that files exist in the folder. If someone could give me an idea how to check a creation date it would be appreciated. Thanks dave
def delete_old_files (t:\dm\~\users) # find files and delete files created more than XX number of days ago update_exist = 0 input_dir = t:\dm\~\users\xxxx.yyyyyy\zzzz if os.path.exists (input_dir) : files = os.listdir (input_dir) else: print "Unable to find input file dir: %s !!!" % input_dir sys.exit(2) if len(files): for file in files : file = os.path.join(input_dir) #all files in output directory will be csv or xls, can be deleted if old enough if os.path.isfile(file): #need to check ext not file, file name changes each day if re.search(t:\dm\~\users\xxxxx\) and #creation date gt x number of days ago t:\dm\~\users\davef.input_list.delete(file) file_delete = 1 if file_delete: print "\n file deleted: \n%s" % str(t:\dm\~\users\xxxxx.input_list) return file_delete Dave Fickbohm Data Mining Analyst Homegain+ 1250 45th St. Emeryville, CA, 94608 Phone 510 594 4151 - Voice 510 655 0848 - Fax -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
