I want to run an external program using os.system() but I want to include a variable in the middle of the command line.
An example of the type of thing I want to be able to do: pathname = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]) os.system('cscript /nologo ' + pathname + '\test.vbs') When I run this, everything after pathname + seems to be ignored. Is this just incorrect syntax or am I trying to do something fundamentally wrong? Is there a better way to do something like this? I'm trying to move from perl to python and this is my first attempt at python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
