I am trying to run an exe within a python script, but I'm having trouble with spaces in the directory name.
The following example will display the usage statement of the program, so I know that the space in the path to the exe is being handled correctly and that the program was executed. CMD= r'"C:\program files\some directory\engine\theexe.exe"' os.system(CMD) But the required argument for the exe require a path to a file to be specified. When I try to run the following, os.system(CMD2) CMD2= r'"C:\program files\some directory\engine\theexe.exe" "C:\program files\some directory\engine\file.txt"' I get this error: Unable to open file C:\Program So, it looks to me like the space in the path for the argument is causing it to fail. Does anyone have any suggestions that could help me out? Thanks, Steve -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
