that is exactly what i am looking for, but how would i add this to my filename??? should i use this:
output_file = open(os.path.join(self.Save_Session.GetValue(), time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M')), 'w')
the self.Save_Session.GetValue() is generated by a dirdialog
Uck,uck, uck, no...
That's what Kent's post was for... This will do the trick.
filename = "%s%s.txt" % (self.Save_Session.GetValue(),time.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M"))
output_file = open(filename,"a")
This uses string formatting, are you familiar with that?
If not -- see here http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html#l2h-211
remember, if you don't understand--not that you wouldn't--you can always ask here.
HTH,
Jacob
