[Ironpython-users] Using System.Diagnostics.Process results in Errno 22

[Jackie Sproat]

Thanks for the suggestion - I tried both solutions but, neither one of them solves the problem.
System.Diagnostics.Process seems to only work if you want to launch an .exe with given arguments

My guess is the backslashes are causing problems. You have two options:

1) Escape the backslashes:
    file_name = 'java -jar "C:\\Program Files\\Sikuli X\\sikuli-script.jar" '

2) Use a raw string, which disables backslash escapes (also useful for regexes):
    file_name = r'java -jar "C:\Program Files\Sikuli X\sikuli-script.jar" '
