Re: os.system()- cannot add parameter

En Wed, 20 Aug 2008 04:20:15 -0300, aditya shukla
<ad**************@gmail.comescribi�:
I have a program which is in the form of a client-server. i wanna send
the
parameters from my python script such that the client passes it to the
server.this is what i have done
Server is running in vmplayer.This is what i have done
b="c:\progs"
os.system('start c:\\pnew\\xyz\\win32\\xyz' + " " + b) -- now this runs
the
xyz.exe but does not accept the parameter, where as if i directly give

xyz c:\progs through the client(from cmd.exe) then this works.
I'd use the most basic debugging tools - print and repr:

b="c:\progs" # ensure it is correctly escaped
cmdline = 'start c:\\pnew\\xyz\\win32\\xyz' + " " + b
print repr(cmdline)
os.system(cmdline)
