I'm trying to output a set of points that my program creates, and I would like to be able to run it multiple times without having to manually move the files or rename them.
The files that I output would have a name like "cluster-1.txt" (could be changed if needed). So I need my program to find out if a cluster output file exists, find the file with the highest number and create a file with a higher number.
For example, if the program is running for the first time it would check, find no file and create "cluster-0.txt"; if the program is running for the second time, it would check and find "cluster-0.txt" and create "cluster-1.txt"; if the program is running for the nth time, it would check and find the file with the highest n value and the create a file called "cluster-n+1.txt".
If possible it should ignore any missing files in the middle. So, if I have cluster-0.txt, cluster-10.txt, and cluster-11.txt it should create cluster-12.txt. This is not essential, though.
