Hi Terry, > abc = executeit(commandline) or > executeit(commandline, abc) >
Looks like you are looking for the commands module, it provides: getstatusoutput( cmd) getoutput( cmd) getstatus( file) Which do exactly what tou want. Take a look at the docs at: http://python.active-venture.com/lib/module-commands.html Hope that helps, Hugo _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
