Corey, I have a bit of code that use in a CGI that sorts some picture files, perhaps something like this will work for you.
The file sorting bit: dir_list = os.listdir("/localhost/html/pics") dir_list.sort() #sorts the list of filenames in place Just in case there is something else useful in the routine I am using, here is the total code. It not produces a sorted list of the file names, it keeps the amount of files in the directory from growing out of control in my particular Python CGI app. In this case, I keep only the 5 most recent files. The code does not have to look at the file timestamps to do this because I am using the epoch time at time of the file's creation as the file's name i.e. from time import time; new_filename = str(int(time())) . file_list = "" count = 0 dir_list = os.listdir("/localhost/html/pics") dir_list.sort() for file in dir_list: count = count + 1 if count < 5: pass else: basename = os.path.basename(file) if basename.endswith('.png'): file_list = file_list + basename+'\n' os.remove("/localhost/html/pics/"+dir_list[0]) --Bill Allen On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 6:56 PM, Corey Richardson <kb1...@aim.com> wrote: > Hello Tutors, > > I am generating XML definitions for animations to be used in a > FIFE-based game.
