A simple way to save a string (or whatever) to a file in Python is: file = open(‘File.txt’, ‘w’) file.write(‘whatever’) file.close()file = open(‘File.txt’, ‘w’) file.write(‘whatever’) file.close() An alternative method that auto-closed the file is: with open(‘File.txt’, ‘w’) as file: file.write(‘whatever’)with open(‘File.txt’, ‘w’) as file: file.write(‘whatever’)

In Python you can get the current date and time like this: import time timestr = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S") print(timestr)import time timestr = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S") print(timestr) Here is an example output: 2019-08-11_15-23-022019-08-11_15-23-02 Then you can use timestr variable as file name, i.e: file = open(timestr+’.txt’, ‘w’) file.write(‘whatever’) file.close()file = open(timestr+’.txt’, ‘w’) file.write(‘whatever’) file.close() Or another example below: with […]

Snippet to get current script directory in Python: import os print(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))import os print(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))) It will output the current Python script path, i.e: /path/to/python/script/path/to/python/script

In Python you can use fnmatch to enable wildcard search: import fnmatchimport fnmatch Wildcard search and array of strings: lst = [‘string1’, ‘testing’, ‘football’]   if fnmatch.filter(lst, ‘th?s’): print(‘Matched’)lst = [‘string1’, ‘testing’, ‘football’] if fnmatch.filter(lst, ‘th?s’): print(‘Matched’) Wildcard search a string: if fnmatch.fnmatch(‘readme.txt’, ‘*.txt’): print(‘Matched’)if fnmatch.fnmatch(‘readme.txt’, ‘*.txt’): print(‘Matched’)
