Hello, as I'm new to python I've stumbled accros os.system and its not very well documented usage.
I use Win XP Pro and Python 2.5. Here is the code snippet: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- import time import os dir = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\somepath\\" fileName = time.strftime("%d%m%Y") os.system('gvim dir+fileName+".txt"') --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem is that concatenated variable dir+fileName doesn't get expanded as expected. Is there anything I omitted? svata -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
