I have a few of the pieces of this working but I'm struggling with putting them together.
I would like to take a file, move it to a backup folder, get the date time from that file, and append it to the file's name / change the file's name to file name + date time.
This part gets the date time in the format I want it. (print line is the date time formatted properly, but I don't need to print this line)
Filepath = "C:\\SyncWork\\ACE\\Files\\ESAL_P\\ESAL_P.txt"
modifiedTime = os.path.getmtime(Filepath)
firstFile = os.path.getmtime(Filepath)
print (datetime.fromtimestamp(modifiedTime).strftime("%b-%d-%y-%H:%M:%S"))
This part will rename / move the file (But it's missing the datetime)
prevName = 'c:\\syncwork\\ace\\files\\ESAL_P\\ESAL_P.txt'
newName = 'c:\\syncwork\\ace\\files\\ESAL_P\\Backup\\ESAL_P.txt'
os.rename(prevName, newName)
How do I turn the print line with the formatting that I like into a string and append it to the end of the newName line?
AFTER my question was answered My final code looked like this:
Filepath = "C:\\SyncWork\\ACE\\Files\\ESAL_P\\ESAL_P.txt"
modifiedTime = os.path.getmtime(Filepath)
timestamp = datetime.fromtimestamp(modifiedTime).strftime("%b-%d-%Y_%H.%M.%S")
prevName = 'c:\\SyncWork\\ACE\\Files\\ESAL_P\\ESAL_P.txt'
newName = 'c:\\SyncWork\\ACE\\Files\\ESAL_P\\Backup\\ESAL_P'
os.rename(prevName, newName+"_"+timestamp + ".txt")
print(newName)
