I am writing my first python script and I'm guessing this is something obvious but I can't find any examples of doing something like this. I have a python script that is running a vbscript through cscript.exe. The vbscript looks up a server name, username, password etc and returns these values in a delimited list using wscript.echo. I can assign these values to variables using a Windows batch files with the following code
FOR /F "tokens=1-6" %%a in ('cscript /nologo GetServerAccessInfo.vbs"') do ( SET DB_SERVER_NAME=%%a SET DB_NAME=%%b SET NMDBO_USERNAME=%%c SET NMDBO_PASSWORD=%%d SET SU_USERNAME=%%e SET SU_PASSWORD=%%f I can't figure out how to do the same thing using a python script to call this instead of a batch file. I am running the vbscript by using the following command os.system('cscript /nologo GetServerAccessInfo.vbs') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
