Python Date Stamping

[StephenEldridge]

Anyone know how to make python put a date stamp on a filename when creating a feature?

Thanks,

Steve

Understood.  Try this

import datetime

currentdate = datetime.date.today()

nohyphendate = currentdate.strftime(%Y%m%d)

print "output_" + nohyphendate

I had an error in my previous reply.  If you use a %b you get the month abbreviation.  %m gets you the integer of the month.  Does that fix your error?

Thanks,

Brandon

Here is what I used and it worked:

Import datetime

currentdate = datetime.date.today().strftime("%Y""%m""%d")

Thanks again,
