Then I have another text file containing information about the century
each one of the texts was written. This document has the following
structure:
<br>
<br>A-01, 1278
<br>A-02, 1501
<br>...
<br>N-09, 1384

What I would like to do is to write a little script that would do the
following:
<br>
<br>. Read each row of the text containing information about the centuries
each one of the texts was written
<br>. Change the name of the file whose name starts with the code in the
first column in the following way
<br>
<br> A-01-namex.txt --> A-01-namex_13-2.txt
<br>
<br> Where 13-1 means: 13th 2nd half. Obviously this information would
com from the second column in the text: 1278 (the first two digits + 1 =
century; if the 3rd and 4th digits > 50, then 2; if < 50 then 1)
<br>
<br>Then in the same script or in a new one, I would need to open each one
of the texts and add information about the century they were written on
the first line preceded by some symbol (e.g @13-2)
<br>
<br>I've found a lot of information about changing file names (so I know
that I should be importing the os module), but none of the examples that
were cited involved getting the information for the file changing
operation from the contents of a document. </blockquote></div><div><br></div>If it were me, I'd build a string using the information you want, then add ".txt" or whatever to the end of it, then use the os module to change the filenames.<br clear="all">
