Python code output to a file and add timestamp to filename
file, output, python, timestamp
Solution
If you are following this person's advice (which seems sensible), then this is more of a `bash` problem than a Python problem- you can use the `date` command to generate the filename within your console command, e.g.:
python /path/to/script/myscript.py > /path/to/output/myfile$(date "+%b_%d_%Y").txt
Problem
"I would not even approach this from a python-fix perspective, but simply redirect the output of running your python script: python /path/to/script/myscript.py > /path/to/output/myfile.txt Nothing has to change in your script, and all print statements will end up in your text file." how can i use the code above to output to a file, but also timestamp the filename? example: python /path/to/script/myscript.py > /path/to/output/myfile01-22-2014.txt
