Hi Duncan, sorry, I was unprecise. I'm thinking of a script, called t.py that can be used in the console like an ordinary command. Som if I change directory from S:\scripts to d:\projects and execute the script the title changes to "projects" etc.
I have that functionality today with a combination of a python script and a batch file. I just wondered if I could use python all the way. Apparently I cannot. Here are the scripts: ------ DirInPath:\t.bat -------------------------------- @echo off :: reads bare directory name from file :: created by external Python script set DIR_FILE_NAME=DOS_IS_TERRIBLE.tmp PyBareDir.py %DIR_FILE_NAME% for /F "eol=;" %%t in (%DIR_FILE_NAME%) do ( title %%t ) del /Q /F DOS_IS_TERRIBLE.tmp ------------------------------------------------------------ ------ DirInPath:\PyBareDir.py -------------------------------- # extracts bare directory name and writes # it to file with name given as argument. from os import getcwd from os.path import basename import sys try: saveAsName = sys.argv[1] lastDir = basename(getcwd()) XWwz(saveAsName, 'w+').write(lastDir + '\n;') except: print "PyBareDir failed:", sys.exc_info()[1] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
