So I write this sript called printargs.py: ------ #!/usr/local/bin/python import sys print 'there are %d args' % len(sys.argv) for arg in sys.argv: print 'arg: %s' % arg ------
and make it executable. On pretty much every platform I can get my hands on, when I run printargs.py booga -a wooga I get this output: there are 4 args arg: printargs.py arg: booga arg: -a arg: wooga But on Windows Vista, when I run that command, I get there are 1 args arg: printargs.py What's up with that? --JMike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
