Hi All ,
I would like to know how do I make and option file as an argument on
command propmnt in python .
At present I using :
if len(sys.argv) == 3:
first = sys.argv[1]
second = sys.argv[2]
else:
print "enter the second argument"
It works well for the following command :
python test.py file1 file2
However I have another case where only file1 may be present so file1 is
mandatory for this script to run however file2 is optionnal :
if len(sys.argv) == 2:
first_log = sys.argv[1]
second_log = sys.argv[2]
pthon test.py file1
It gives error :
second_log = sys.argv[2]
IndexError: list index out of range
How do I acheive this because if python test.py file1 file2 then I would
process both files .
If python test.py file1 is given then I would process file1 using the
variable first_log .
Please advice .
Thanks,
