python error for f"{os.path

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")

f decorators are Python 3. You'll have to use .format() like this:

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

Thanks for replay

I am getting error using your code

File "C:\Sch\osp.py", line 74
txtFileNameNoExt = "{}_{}".format(os.path.splitext(txtFileNameWithExt)[0], datetime.datetime.now(%y_%m_%d))
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

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))
