We'd need to see code to tell what you are doing wrong. The solution is pretty obvious: 1. Model the needed structure, which is a 2D matrix of script x date. Assuming the above output is the nromal case, this can be done with a list of rows, each of which has a list of entries by date. 2. Write reader code which reads a csv and loads it into this structure. 3. Write writer code which writes this structure out to csv. 4. Write orchestration code to a) read the old csv, b) check the loaded structure's data against the new data-on-disk to find changed files, c) update the structure appropriately, d) write out the resulting new csv. -- Harry George PLM Engineering Architecture -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
