Hello All - I have a very novice question for any of you out there. I need to assign several parameters to a code in python.
In Python, a 'parameter' is a function local name defined in the header of the function and bound to an argument when the function is called.
I have an example
of a code that was in DOS that I would need to set as parameters in my Python script. SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion SET OUTPUT=..\log
OUTPUT = '../log/
SET LOG=..\log SET COMPLETED=..\Loaded SET FAILED=..\Errors SET REPORT=..\log\batch_projectdb.txt SET SOURCE=..\InBox SET BACKUP=..\Backup SET SERVER=housdep01 SET INSTANCE=port:5151 SET DATASET=sde SET /a LOADED=0 SET /a POSTED=0 :: If the directories don't exist, later commands run into problems. MD %OUTPUT%
MD = make directory. Look for this in the os or os.path modules. Do read the tutorial. Terry Jan Reedy
MD %LOG% MD %COMPLETED% MD %FAILED% MD %BACKUP% I've been researching Parameters with the Python manuals and have not found the help to be usefull as there is not much documentation for some reason. I am new to the Python world so maybe I'm missing an important piece of vocab. Thanks A lot Jim
