I would use something like cmd = '%s/mos user wmarch, ' % mosbin cmd += 'cd /fa/wm/%s/%s, ' % (jaar, filetype) cmd += ... which reveals that you don't have enough args to satisfy all the %s's
-----Original Message----- From: Nader Emami [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --snip-- I have a long command in Unix and I have to use os.system(cmd) statement. I do the following: cmd = '%s/mos user wmarch, cd /fa/wm/%s/%s, mkdir %s, put %s, chmod 644 %s' % (mosbin, jaar, filetype, filetype) status = os.system(cmd) This is not very clear, and I have to break this long line in two segment by means of the next character '\' : cmd = '%s/mos user wmarch, cd /fa/wm/%s/%s, mkdir %s, put %s, \ chmod 644 %s' % (mosbin, jaar, filetype, filetype) But in this case I get a syntax error! I don't know how I can solve this problem. Could somebody tell me about this?
