I want to release particles every hour for a month and need an array with a date in this format '2013/05/23;00:00:00:000' (YYYY/MM/DD;hh:mm:SS:sss) that has the following hour in every step. So something like this for a whole month:
x=['2013/05/23;01:00:00:000' '2013/05/23;02:00:00:000' '2013/05/23;03:00:00:000' ...'2013/06/23;01:00:00:000']
Any idea how to loop this? Thanks!
Something along the lines
import datetime as dt
dt_start = dt.datetime(2013,5,23,1,0)
dt_end = dt.datetime(2013,5,23,4,0)
date_list = []
while dt_start< dt_end:
dt_start = dt_start + dt.timedelta(hours=1)
date_list.append('{:%Y/%m/%d;%H:%M:%S:%f}'.format(dt_start))
date_list.append('{:%Y/%m/%d;%H:%M:%S:%f}'.format(dt_start)[:-3])i = 1
x = []
while i<=12:
if i<10:
str = '2013/05/23;0%d:00:00:000' % i
else:
str = '2013/05/23;%d:00:00:000' % i
x.append(str)
i=i+1
this is code
