the tutorial explains how to piece together strings: http://docs.python.org/tut/node5.html#SECTION005120000000000000000 http://docs.python.org/tut/node9.html#SECTION009100000000000000000 alternatively, you could use the subprocess module instead of os.system, and pass http://docs.python.org/lib/module-subprocess.html retcode = subprocess.call(["c:/tmp/mycmd.exe", arg1, arg2, arg3]) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
