This is my first post, so please advise if I'm not using proper etiquette. I've actually searched around a bit and while I think I can do this, I can't think of a clean elegant way. I'm pretty new to Python, but from what I've learned so far is that there is almost always an easier way.
I have to parse several log files. I've already written a working parser. The log files are simple text files that when they get to a certain size are renamed to append a number. So, you might end up with: filename.log.2 filename.log.1 filename.log The higher the number, the older the file. I want to search for all the files in a directory with "filename.log" as part of their name. Then I can do one of two things. First I could combine them so that the resulting file ends up with the oldest on top and newest on the bottom. Otherwise, I could just iterate over the multiple files within my parser. I don't need working code (that makes things too easy), just clear suggestions to a Python newcomer to speed me on my way. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
