Hello
In python 2.5, ubuntu 8.04, how can I get a variable to work, instead of
having to use a string literal, in the following?
I want to do
subprocess.call('scanimage -args- > ${outfile}', shell = True)
but I can only do
subprocess.call('scanimage -args- > /home/garry/Desktop/junk', shell =
True)
Everything on the web I've seen is a string literal, not a variable,
except one instance of $HOME, which kinda doesn't count, because the
variable already existed before.
I've fiddled for 5 hours, time to ask for help.
Anybody know how do do this?
