Now, don't get me wrong if this is a trivial question, or even an apsurd one. I'm new to python, so my mileage may vary.
I have several exe files, console applications that pretty much run on the principle: <starting> first.exe Enter file name: start.dat <outputs filename.dat> <end of first.exe> <starting> second.exe Enter file name: filename.dat <output result.dat> <end of second.exe> ... you get the point. These are old exe programs, not mine (I can't recompile them or modify them in any way), but which work fine and I still regularly use them. However, I would like to automate this process (since they are not just two, and since this process of entering always the same data is tiresome. Is there a way this could be done with a python script ? A script which starts the .exe file, enters some predefined data, waits for an exe to finish, then again, starts the second .exe file, ... ? I would appreaciate any input you can give on this problem. -- Bob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
