L.S.,

I have a long command in Unix and I have to use os.system(cmd) statement. I do the following:

cmd = '%s/mos user wmarch, cd /fa/wm/%s/%s, mkdir %s, put %s, chmod 644 %s' % (mosbin, jaar, filetype, filetype)
status = os.system(cmd)



This is not very clear, and I have to break this long line in two segment by means of the next character '\' :
cmd = '%s/mos user wmarch, cd /fa/wm/%s/%s, mkdir %s, put %s, \
chmod 644 %s' % (mosbin, jaar, filetype, filetype)


But in this case I get a syntax error! I don't know how I can solve this problem. Could somebody tell me about this?

With regards,
Nader
