I'm not sure what you mean by "declaring", but assigning a value to zip_command, as you do, and printing it, as I suggest, do just that - assign and print. It is the call to os.system() that executes the command.oh i see the if os.sytem() command in the program is what ran the zip_command> the actual program i was looking to write would take: > file1,file2,and file3, in /Users/davidteboul/bin/python > and condense them into individual files; file1.gz, file2.gz and file3.gz and > save them in a directory already made - (/Users/davidteboul/backups) I think that doing this with gzip, you have to first copy the files to the backup directory, then run gzip on the backup.> ps..did i post and reply all corretly? You can intersperse your comments with the original email, as I have done above, rather than putting your entire reply at the end. The reply all is fine. Kent thanks for the help, ill try some stuff and see if i can get it to work------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
