I have an executable (I don't have access to the source code) that processes some data. I double click on the icon and a Command prompt window pops up. The program asks me for the input file, I hit enter, and then it asks me for and output filename, I hit enter a second time and it goes off and does its thing and when it is finished running the Command Prompt goes away and I have my new output file in the same directory as my executable and input file. I would like to be able to batch process a group of files. I thought about using "os.spawnv()" in a loop and at each iteration of the loop passing in the file in and out names but that didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas?
It's been quite a while since I had to solve problems like the one you have. Sometimes I used a Python implementation of 'expect' successfully.
