Simple read files and write file

I have to create a simple program but I want it
to look as professional as possible.
The program needs to open a file on a network share
write the contents of a number of files to one file.
The files will contain many lines with a carrige return
at the end of each line. Each file will have the month
and the year in the file name which will be used to
determine which files are opened and read.

Again the problem sounds simple, but I want it to look
as good as possible. Any web sites with similar
information would be very helpful.

You might want to google for UI design sites.
Very much a matter of personal preference :)
"Profession al" would maybe mean showing write progress and the ability to
cancel.

There have been a couple of config file 'systems' announced recently, that focus on building more powerful and complex configuration files. ConfigObj is a module to enable you to much more *simply* access config files. This is version 3, which is a big overhaul. It extends ConfigObj to reading config files with sections and various other simplifications. I find ConfigObj extremely easy to use and use it for reading config files and data...

I am using a specialized database software (for bibliography: EndNote) that does export in XML. I would like to be able to read that into a simple software, like Excel or Access, in order to do manipulation of the data (that are not allowed in EndNote). Anyone knows a simple tool (utility) that would allow that. By the way, I'm using Office 2002 (not XP/2003, which may have native XML features!).

I am struggling a bit with XML, even as I wade through endless help files and several books. I thought it would be useful to toss my particular needs to the group to see what you think is the best approach.

What I want to do now is save the...

Can someone help me with this script, which I found posted elsewhere? I'm trying to figure out what is going on here so that I can alter it for my needs, but the lack of descriptive names is making it difficult. And, the script doesn't quite do anything worthwhile -- it unzips one file from a zipfile, not all files in a zipfile. *** import zipfile, os, sys, glob os.chdir("C:\\Temp")

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
