search file name with same first 5 char and zip them
 

all, im a real newbie in python and linux.
need help to search in a directory for files with same first 5 character, and zip them up using python.

Hi barathan,
Is this a homework assignment? What have you tried so far and where have you encountered problems?
jdk

If not homework, is there a reason it has to be with python? (seems a little overkill)
