Hello Python Tutor Community, This is my first post and I am just getting started with Python, so I apologize in advance for any lack of etiquette.
I have a directory of several thousand daily satellite images that I need to process. Approximately 300 of these images are split in half, so in just these instances there will be two files for one day. I need to merge each pair of split images into one image. The naming convention of the files is as follows: TYYYYDDDHHMMSS, where: T= one character satellite code YYYY = 4 digit year DDD = Julian date HH = 2-digit hour MM = 2-digit minute SS = 2-digit second What I hope to be able to do is scan the directory, and for each instance where there are two files where the first 8 characters (TYYYYDDD) are identical, run a process on those two files and place the output (named TYYYYDDD) in a new directory. The actual processing part should be easy enough for me to figure out. The part about finding the split files (each pair of files with the same first 8 characters) and setting those up to be processed is way beyond me. I've done several searches for examples and have not been able to find what I am looking for. Can anyone help? Thanks so much! Mark -- Mark S.
