Need help with getting the correct date modified format in dd-mm-yyyy. I tried all the available online resources.
Error Image:
Background Information:
The script moves the old file into an archived directory and renames it with the file name + modified date. The modified date is what I am trying to get and its correct format.

Update: Get this error with those two additions from your hint.
date1 = time.ctime(os.path.getmtime(path))
date1 = str(date1)
date1= date1.strftime('%d-%m-%y')by
I was able to get pass the syntax error but the expected result didn't show.
Expected Result:
Old file is supposed to be renamed Grid_Support_....._2019-12-30
New File is supposed to be named Grid_Support_.....with no date on it
New file is supposed to be inside Folder directory but for some reason it moved to Archived Directory
Old file is moved to the archived directory
I have attached a copy of the excel file in case you wanted to test it on your computer.
The date on it is 12-30-2019 so you can actually use it. If it was 12-31-2019 then the results that
you wanted to see won't show.
