I am converting a Windows ProComm script into Python and need help.
; previous Procomm script here
run "c:\buy.exe" taskId ; this runs the c:\buy.exe
program and assigns the task identification number to the integer
variable called "taskId"
pause 1 ; wait one second
while taskexists(taskId)
exitTask(taskId) ; kills the task
endwhile
; we carry on.... the ProComm code to completion
How do I do the same in Python?
os.startfile("c:\\buy.exe" , 'OPEN') # THIS WORKS and returns but
does not return the taskID
# what do I do now to kill the the Windows program which has finished
its work?
