thank you for the reply actually your response was pretty much exactly what i am trying to do so i will explain what i meant more better also i will have to learn shell script cuz i looked it up online and it seems i have to download something and then some other stuff....unless you have the short steps on how to write a shell script for a win 7 cmd prompt to call 2 or more python scripts so what i meant to say in my 1st post is i have to 1st run the create index program , which i have to run as so: python createIndex_tfidf.py stopWords.dat testCollection.dat testIndex.dat titleIndex.dat i tried b4 a while ago to run the .py file alone but it returns index out of range errors..so thats why i have to run it with the other 4 .dat files it takes a few minutes to build the index and then the prompt returns me to the folder im in and then i run this: python queryIndex_tfidf.py stopWords.dat testIndex.dat titleIndex.dat same reason as b4 , i cant run just .py file alone , as it returns index out of range errors so that takes another few more minutes and then the cursor keeps blinking and i have to adjust the script some how because i just wait till i can try to input a query at the blinking cursor so for example..hello world and it will return the titles up to 100, cuz thats the max returns i put in the script so thats completetly perfect what you said ..create a 3rd script..a shell script to call the total i beleive its 9 files in total.....but like i said i dont know shell scripting , so i will try to learn it ..hope its not too complicated...or i can make a 3rd python script ...but not sure how to call the 2 python files and 7 .dat files...sorry even though its a year or so i know python..still get lost on import and from and include directives as for the GUI ok i will check out your advice..cuz actually i do have a GUI version of this program here..and i wanted to merge them..but its seeming to be complex...i would rather make the GUI for this program cuz its actually exactly as i like it thank you for any more explanation on how i can make and run the 3rd merge file script tommy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
