I am trying to read .txt and .log files, search for specific words and return results to a CSV using if statements. How do I open other files to read in if statements?
I ran the part that's giving me the errors on another python file and it worked fine and was able to open and read. So it's not the code itself I don't think. Although I'm fairly new to Python.
When running the below I get the following error.
latest_file = max(list_of_files, key=os.path.getctime)
ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence"
with open('//' + hostName + '/C$/Windows/System32/inetsrv/config/applicationHost.config') as doc:
lines1 = doc.read()
if ("logFormat=" + '"W3C"' in lines1):
list_of_files = glob.glob('//' + hostName + '/C$/inetpub/logs/LogFiles/W3SVC1/*')
latest_file = max(list_of_files, key=os.path.getctime)
y = latest_file
with open(y) as doc1:

the error is telling you thatlist_of_fileshas no items, double check that your path to the files is constructed properly

When I used glob.glob, I remmember it was only a list of filenames, I had to concatenate path+file to open them, probably you have the same problem. Debug is your new best friend
