Sorry if my Subject line isn't clear about what my question is. I have a script that uses the turtle and random modules to create SVG files, one after another, in a directory just for the SVGs. The script assigns filenames in the form, "n.svg", where n is an integer. E.g. 1.svg, 2.svg. 3.svg, ... 44.svg, 45.svg. As it is now, I have to reset the starting integer when restarting the script, so as to not overwrite the files already created. Thus if the highest number filename is 45.svg, I have to configure the script so that it begins to create SVGs with filenames of 46.svg on up.
I'm hoping to add a function that will find find that highest number filename in the directory. Is this possible? I should add that the numbers of the existing files will not necessarily be consecutive. There could be gaps. E.g., 4.svg., 5.svg., 8.svg, 9.svg.
