I'm new to python and i have a string problem.
My problem is this
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>import time
>>>time = time.asctime()
>>>time
'Fri Apr 08 22:14:14 2005'
>>>ti = time[0:13]
>>>me = time[14:16]
>>>time = ti + me
>>>time
'Fri Apr 08 2214'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now i need to compond that string remove the whitespace if you will.Well
i read up on strip(), lstrip() and rstrip() and all i could deduce was that they striped the whitespace from the start and/or end of the string.But I tried that anyway and failed.Is there an easier way than i did it below? I'm sorry it's ugly and tedious.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash/env python
import os, time
#Figure out what os this is platform = os.name
#Create string with date, time and extension for our pcap file ext = '.out' time = time.asctime() ti = time[0:13] # me = time[14:16] # time = ti + me #There has to be a better way to do this? fo = time[0:3] # rm = time[4:7] # at = time[11:18] time = fo + rm + at + ext
#Get rid of yukkies del ti, me, ext, fo, rm, at
#create command string flag = '-w' wincommand = 'c:/progra~1/ethereal/tethereal' lincommand = '/usr/sbin/./tethereal'
#run tethereal and send the output to a pcap file DDDMMMHHMM.out
if platform == 'nt':
os.system('%s %s %s' % (wincommand, flag, time))if platform == 'posix':
os.system('%s %s %s' % (lincommand, flag, time))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks,
Dylan
