RE: Maintaining leading zeros with the lstrip string function?

[Randy Kreuziger]

Thanks for the basename suggestion.  That almost works.  I'm running into a 
problem with some of the directory names when they include \800x\   see below.
―-
import sys, os, string

teststring = 'C:\shoreline\dvd\prep area\800x\060623_1.jpg'
print  os.path.basename(teststring)
―-
Results in 
800x0623_1.jpg
 
But it needs to be
060623_1.jpg

Maintaining leading zeros with the lstrip string function?

[Randy Kreuziger]

I need just the file name from a string containing the path to a file.  The 
name of the file starts with zeros.  This is problematic because the  lstrip 
function strips them leaving this as the result:
6128.jpg
 
 
How do I strip the path without losing the leading zeros in the file name?
 
―-
import sys, os, win32com.client, string

teststring = 'C:\shoreline\dvd\prep area\800x\\006128.jpg'
print string.lstrip(teststring, 'C:\shoreline\dvd\prep area\800x\\')

Executing a DOS program from within Python

[Randy Kreuziger]

This is probably a  newbie question but I need a kick start to get going.

I need to run a DOS (sdetable) program from within a Python program.  I'll use 
command line switches so I will not need to interact with the program however 
it would be nice if I could capture its exit code.

Thanks

Redirecting both stdout and stderr to the same file

[Randy Kreuziger]

Can stdout and stderr be redirected to the same file?  I would like to redirect both to the same file but I'm not sure how to do it.  Currenting I'm redirectiong stdout using the following code:
   saveout = sys.stdout   fsock = open('runtime.log', 'w')   sys.stdout = fsock
 
The problem is that when en error occurs that my program was not written to handle that error message is being sent to the cmd window and not my log file.  My program may simply need to be more robust however I'm still a python novice.
 
Thanks
