This script will read all your AAVSO report textfiles and glue them
together into one file named _mall.txt.
For easy upload to AAVSO
1/ Copy this script and all your report files to whatever dir
2/ Create a subdir namnes res
3/ Copy your header file to res and rename it mall.txt
4/ Run this script from the dir with this script and the AAVSO...text batch
Script will output a new file (_mall.txt) with all your reports glued into one.
You can easily extend or modify script to whatever you need
The header file i use is:
#TYPE=EXTENDED
#OBSCODE=HPIA
#SOFTWARE=VPhot 3.1
#DELIM=,
#DATE=JD
#OBSTYPE=CCD
#NAME,DATE,MAG,MERR,FILT,TRANS,MTYPE,CNAME,CMAG,KNAME,KMAG,AMASS,GROUP,CHART,NOTES
If you have more or fewer lines in your header file you have to change :
offset_end=8 to how many lines your header has -1.
'''
offset_start=1
offset_end=8
#print "Python is really a great language,", "isn't it?";
shutil.copy2('res/mall.txt', 'res/_mall.txt')
dir = os.getcwd()
allfiles = os.listdir(dir)
print allfiles
out = open("res/_mall.txt", "a+") #read and append
for file in os.listdir('.'):
if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, '*.txt'):
fo = open(file, "r",-1)
fo.seek(0)
for x in xrange(offset_start,offset_end): #skip header lines in files
fo.readline()
lines=fo.readlines()
out.writelines(lines)
fo.close()
out.close()
print "done"
