Hello,

I havent worked with python in a couple years so my skills are a bit rusty. I am trying to develop a python script that does a couple things.

Why I need this script is because the company I intern for sends all its orders from the website and API to a couple documents folders the main one I need is called summary. In summary there thousands of files. Every file I need looks like this WEB######.sum and WEB######.txt . What I need is a script that combs this folder based on a user inputted date. The date would refer to the last date modified. Each order has two files the .sum and the .txt, and every order is in sequential order Like:

WEB330542.sum

WEB330542.txt

WEB330543.sum

WEB330543.txt

WEB330544.sum

WEB330544.txt

The script needs to be programmed in a way the can report back if one of the files in order is missing. Whether that be if theres only one file missing or two.

Ive been working on this for some time and I found a way to list everything with the date modified. Im very frustrated with this so any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using python 3.6.5. The image is two different way ive tried to approach the problem.

Thanks!
