Thank you all for the enthusiastic responses. It must have been other
part of the script since the command string construction now works. I
also realized that "file" is a poor choice of variable name. Thanks
Danny for telling me about the subprocess module.
Best regards, Gilbert.

How did you conclude that? "diff -u %s %s > %s.patch" % (

Should work - assuming the 3 variables are defined! Although file
is a bad name for a variable since its also the name of the

Hi there,
I would like to construct some string objects using the cprintf-style
format:
command_string = "diff -u %s %s > %s.patch" % ( src, dst, file )
Of course it is illegal in python but I couldn't figure out a way to
construct strings with that kind of formatting and substitution.
