Hello Mike, Thanks for responding. I need to pass multiple filenames to an executable. The filenames are similar to one another, but differ only slightly, hence the use of the wildcard. The executable works well from the command line if I pass in a wildcard filename, but Popen can't expand the wildcard.
>From command line: % command /path_to_files/filename*.doc With Popen: var1="/path_to_files/filnames*.doc" result=Popen(["command",var1]).wait() Thanks, I will look into the os.system route. Bill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
