Os.system() | Help Me

Hi

I want to run a Batch file using os.system in Python.

for ex: some installation batch file is there .. say install.bat

I can call these function using os.system('install.bat')

Now install.bat requires parameters.. say some source and destination ... that we can give using ... %s

input 1 = source
input2 = destination
ex :

os.system('c:/install.bat %s,%s'%(input1,input2))

This perfectly executes install.bat

Now the problem is it wants inputs from the user... after starting the command...
like [Yes(Y)/No(N)/All(A)]

How can we give these inputs ?
Note : I want to give the inputs like (y,n,a) after starting the execution of install.bat

Please help me how to do this !

Iam badly in need of this...
Help me ....

Waiting for ur suggestions......

You could try writing a list of the input responses to a separate file (say) commands.txt.

Then prepare your string like this:


The < tells it to read input from commands.txt instead of the command line. So whenever it needs to read some input, it will get it from commands.txt.

Please check the url given below.

replace hxxp with http

At 1 . the normal os.system() command starts
At 2 and 3. the inputs we have to enter

I tried with < %s ... its showing the same error..

Hey Its working man !!
Thanks a lot
