I'm working on a scirpt to be used on a windows machine and I need to automate a user's input on the command prompt. For example I'm using os.system('mycommand') to excute the commands I want. However some of these command will prompt for a confirmation of yes or no from user. Is there anything in python that will allow my script to automate these input Another example is let say if i type "format c:\" on the command prompt it will warn me and ask me to type 'y' to continue. I can use the os.system to automate the "format c:\" but is there a way to automate the 'y' input part. I try searching for help on the Interent but cant seem find any info on how to do this with Python. Can someone give me some confirmation if what I want to do is possible or not. Thanks in advance for any help.
