Hi,
I am new to python. I am trying to test my program, like a coursera
submission, which takes run time arguments using "raw_input()". Is
there a
way I can write all the input data into a file and pass it from command
line to the script?
1. I have to use "raw_input".
2. I do not wish to open a file inside the script as that will beat the
purpose.
If you are using Linux or other UNIX like system (such as a Mac) the
'HERE Document' feature [1] of the OS might prove useful:
# File: dummy.py
inputs = {}
inputs["first"] = raw_input("")
inputs["second"] = raw_input("")
for key in inputs.keys():
print inputs[key]
Then from the command line:
alex@x301n4:~$ python dummy.py << HERE
first input
second input
HERE
On my system[2] the result is:
second input
first input
