Hello, I want to automate the following manual process from DOS promp:
c:/scripts/perl>perl fix.pl base.gtx >base.txt Here is my python script: path="c:/scripts/perl/" subprocess.call(['perl','fix.pl','base.gtx >base.txt',path]) I also tried this alternative: subprocess.Popen(['perl','fix.pl','base.gtx >base.txt',path]) #same result from this method. The above script generates the base.txt file but has no content in it. any ideas as to why the resulting text file is empty? Am I using the correct python commands to run the above manual process? I'm using python 2.7 on windows 7 Thanks, Tim _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
