Sorry Kent,
In my haste to just simulate I did make the example with syntax errors. Let me
try this again and I guess your teaching me how to use this mailing list the
correct way also. Ok this is the actual code. I am able to get it to run
from the command line.
Thanks kent for your patience with this Python Newbie....
class TPROJ:
import re
import string
def display(self):#display method
print self.BASENAME
print self.PROJECT
print self.REV
print self.DESIGNATOR
print self.TYPE
def __init__(self,value):#createMethod auto executes since it has __
name = nameCheck(value)
if name:
self.BASENAME = value
self.PROJECT = value.split(':')[0]
self.REV = value.split(':')[1]
self.DESIGNATOR = "NOVALUE"
self.TYPE = ('SW','TMOD','SWA','TMODA')#constant tuple
if not name:
print "found a bad name: %s" % value
def nameCheck(value):#checks to see if filename is valid. Has a colon for
split
import re
tempREG = re.match('.*:.*',value)
return str(tempREG) != 'None'
def getProjectNames():
import os
currentDir=os.getcwd()
nameTable = {}
temp=currentDir + '/TEMP'
print temp
os.chdir(temp)
baseList=os.listdir(".")
baseObjectList = []
for name in baseList:
baseObjectList.append(TPROJ(name))
os.chdir(currentDir)
for item in baseObjectList:
print item.BASENAME
try:
getProjectNames()
except:
print "Got an Error"
