To All,
I have been attempting to execute the following program within the
Python environment:
Myprogram.exe, which means this is an executable file!!
I would usually execute this program (with the appropriate arguments) by
going to following directory within MS-DOS (Windows XP):
C:\myprogramfolder\run> Myprogram.exe 1 1 acc 0
The executable would execute perfectly.
Because you execute it in the necessary directory.
However, when I would try to execute the following lines of source code
within a python script file:
import os
os.system(r"C:\myprogramfolder\run\Myprogram.exe 1 1 acc 0")
This does not execute it in the proper directory.
os.getcwd() will tell you where you are -- mostly likely .../Pythonx.y.
Try:
os.chdir("C:/myprogramfolder/run") # / works fine, and without r prefix
os.system("Myprogram.exe 1 1 acc 0")
The executable file would start to execute until it would print an error
stating that it cannot use a (.dat) file, which is located under the
following directory:
C:\myprogramfolder\run\inputs\io\control.dat
I believe I may be missing something here that prevents the executable
file working within python from utilizing this (.dat). The printed
final error is the following:
ERROR opening inputs/io/control.dat
Does anyone know what that could be ??
That file does not exist in the Pythonx.y directory where the program
starts ;-).
