import os
srcfile = open('/var/log/httpd-access.log.bak', 'r') dstfile = open('/var/log/httpd-access.log', 'w') while 1: lines = srcfile.readlines() if not lines: break # print lines for i in lines: if len(i) < 2086: #print i dstfile.write(i)
srcfile.close() dstfile.close()
Okay, so how about...
a = '/var/log/httpd-access.log'
srcfile = open(a,'r')
dstfile = open(a+'.bak,'w')
for x in srcfile:
try:
x[2086]
except:
print >> dstfile, x
srcfile.close()
dstfile.close()1) Put filename in seperate variable because I'm lazy and didn't want to type it twice.
2) Implemented the file iteration technique.
3) Odd alternative way for line check. Remeber, there's more than one way to do it!
4) Implemented the cool redirection of print statement
Not bad, what do you thing, Reed?
Does anybody have any input on alternative length check technique? Will it be less efficient than just using len()?
HTH,
Jacob
