Here's a bunch of files I am converting to hdf5s using a python script, running from the command line.
How would I loop this command?
The AT510 is common to all files. I'd really like it if there was a way to name the new files with the date and time.

The format is

Try looking up For Loops

The date program can provide formatted output. If you wrap that in a command substition you can get a name that includes the date and time.

As suggested, a for loop should be the ticket. A few observations:

1. If running on multiple machines, the call to python may come unstuck if it should point to 3.X or 2.X and will throw errors if the wrong one is used. If you place the interpreter at the head of the file
and make the file executable, you can simply run the script without issue

2. Assuming the path to 'h5' file may need to be created from the file name, you could also do this in the loop
