Hallöchen! The following code
from subprocess import call call(['cp', 'subdir/*.jpg', 'othersubdir/']) yields cp: call of stat for "subdir/*.jpg" not possible: File or directory not found (This may not be the real error message since it's back-translated from German.) I could use shell=True, however, what's going wrong here? Tschö, Torsten. -- Torsten Bronger, aquisgrana, europa vetus ICQ 264-296-646 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
