Let's say I have a series of files that are named like so: 0001.ext 0230.ext 0041.ext 0050.ext
How would I convert these from a padding of 4 to a padding of 1? In other words, I want the files to be renamed as: 1.ext 230.ext 41.ext 50.ext At first I used strip(), which was a mistake because it removed all the zeroes. The only other solution I can think of is to use slicing to slice off the zeroes. Perhaps I could loop through the name and remove zeroes until I hit a number that is not zero and then exit the loop. Any hints or suggestions? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
