Hi Tim. When I did my tests I used r"", but I forgot it when i wrote the email below.
Even if I use r"" it doesn't work. The wrong stuff is put into Argv[2] /path:C:\Temp /notempfile /closeonend Instead of /path:"C:\Temp" /Ludvig -----Original Message----- From: Tim Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 13 maj 2005 19:19 To: [email protected] Subject: [SPAM-Keyword] - Re: [python-win32] Bug with system()/popen() ? - Found word(s) XXX in the Text body On Fri, 13 May 2005 05:08:13 -0400, "Ludvig Strigeus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I'm trying to use system to run the following command: > >cmd = C:\Program Files\Tortoise SVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe Argv[1] = >/command:update Argv[2] = /path:"C:\Temp\Test" >Argv[3] = /notempfile >Argv[4] = /closeonend > >But all my attempts to convert this to a linearalized command line >fails... > >This is my most successful try (don't ask me why i have "" at the >start, it doesn't work at all otherwise): os.system('""C:\Program >Files\Tortoise SVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe" /command:update >/path:"C:\Temp\Test" /notempfile /closeonend') > > You know that you need to escape all of those backslashes, right?

One alternative is to fall back to: os.system('c:\\progra~1\\tortoi~1\\bin\\TortoiseProc.exe /command:update /path:c:\\temp\\test /notempfile /closeonend') Or: os.environ['PATH'] = os.environ['PATH'] + ';c:\\Program Files\\Tortoise SVN\\bin' os.system('TortoiseProc.exe /command: ...') -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
