I/O Operations .....

[saif.shakeel]

Hi,
I am parsing an XML file and sending the output to two files.The
code asks the user to enter the input file,something like:

file_input = raw_input("Enter The ODX File Path:")
input_xml = open(file_input,'r')

Now suppose the user enters the path as :
C:\Projects\ODX Import\Sample Files\Global _A_UHP_Low_0.7.odx.xml

I have 2 output files to which i have to redirect the output.The
output file name should be same as input file in the same path ( the
extension has to change to a format "ini" which is basically text file
opened using notepad).Eg..
output files should be :
C:\Projects\ODX Import\Sample Files\Global _A_UHP_Low_0.7.ini, and,
C:\Projects\ODX Import\Sample Files\Global _A_UHP_Low_0.7.xls

Can someone help me in this.
cheers

If you only would like to know how to write files, this might help:

content1 = ..............
content2 = ...............

f = open( 'file1', 'w' )
f.write( content1 )
f.close( )

f = open( 'file2', 'w' )
f.write( content2 )
f.close( )

Hi,
File writing can be done in that way,but my query is
something different.I have to rename the output file by default with
input file name(only changing the extension.
Thanks

Take a look at the functions in `os.path`.

Maybe something like this will help (on Linux, Windows is similar):

>>from os import path
f = '/tmp/hello.xls'
path.splitext( f )

('/tmp/hello', '.xls')

>>path.dirname( f )

'/tmp'

>>path.basename( f )

'hello.xls'
