python error for f"{os.path

anonymous55

Hello

I am getting error to run this code with Python 2.7

Error invalid characters at this part

f"{os.path.splitext(txtFileNameWithExt)[0]}_{datetime.datetime.now():%Y_%m_%d}"

how can I fix this it? I need to run it on 2.7 .

 

 

#rename shapefile
txtFileNameWithExt = "Ops.shp"
txtFileNameNoExt = f"{os.path.splitext(txtFileNameWithExt)[0]}_{datetime.datetime.now():%Y_%m_%d}"
arcpy.env.workspace = my_Path
arcpy.Rename_management(txtFileNameWithExt,f"{txtFileNameNoExt}.shp")

yep,  need to format the date there...

 

#rename shapefile
txtFileNameWithExt = "Ops.shp"
dte = datetime.datetime.now()
txtFileNameNoExt = "{}_{}".format(os.path.splitext(txtFileNameWithExt)[0], dte.strftime('%Y_%m_%d'))
arcpy.env.workspace = my_Path
arcpy.Rename_management(txtFileNameWithExt,"{}.shp".format(txtFileNameNoExt))
