Hi I’m a beginner in Python and looking for help with a problem. I am writing a short sript to display:
1. a simple help message
2. the date, client machine name and file being accessed.
3. the number of times each file is accessed.

I’ve managed the first 2 parts but having trouble with the third. I think that I need to split the file name and increment it by 1, but I’ve struggled to find an easy way to do this. Any ideas?
Thanks

Here’s my script so far:

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys, getopt, string

def Usage ():
print "ftpscan [-h][-c]"
sys.exit(0)

def scanner(name, function):
file = open(name,'r')
while 1:
line=file.readline()
if not line: break
function(line)
file.close

def processline(line):
words = string.split(line)
date = words[0:4]
client = words[6]
file = words[8]
day = words[0]
month = words[1]
date = words [2]
time = words[3]
year = words [4]
print day,month,date,time,year,client,file

try:
optlist, list = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:],'hc')
except getopt.GetoptError:
Usage()
sys.exit(2)

for opt in optlist:
print opt
if opt[0] == '-h':
print ' help '
sys.exit(0)

if opt[0] == '-c':
print "Under Construction"
sys.exit(0)


filename = 'ftplog.data'
scanner(filename,processline)

You could use a dictionary to store the counts using the filename as a key. I haven't tested this code, but it might give you an idea:

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys, getopt, string

def Usage ():
    print "ftpscan [-h][-c]"
    sys.exit(0)

def scanner(filename, filecounts, function):
    file = open(name,'r')
    while 1:
        line=file.readline()
        if not line: break
        function(line, filecounts)
    file.close

def processline(line, filecounts):
    words = string.split(line)
    date = words[0:4]
    client = words[6]
    file = words[8]
    day = words[0]
    month = words[1]
    date = words [2]
    time = words[3]
    year = words [4]
    print day,month,date,time,year,client,file
    if filecounts.has_key(file):
        filecounts[file] += 1
    else:
        filecounts[file] = 1

try:
    optlist, list = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:],'hc')                              
except getopt.GetoptError:
    Usage()
    sys.exit(2)

for opt in optlist:
    print opt
    if opt[0] == '-h':
        print ' help '
        sys.exit(0)
    
    if opt[0] == '-c':
        print "Under Construction"
        sys.exit(0)

filecounts = {}
filename = 'ftplog.data'
scanner(filename,filecounts,processline)

Thanks - I will try this.
