Hello,
I'm executing a program from c:\program files\... on windows.
I've found previous articles that suggest putting "s around
the executable path, which works, BUT:
The executable I'm calling requires on of its arguments to be
in "s:
>>> os.system(r'"c:\prgoram files\imagemagick\convert.exe" -draw "text 0 0 hello" in.jpg out.jpg')
I get:
'c:/program' is not recognized az an internal or external command
if I take the "s off the argument:
>>> os.system(r'"c:\prgoram files\imagemagick\convert.exe" -draw text 0 0 hello in.jpg out.jpg')
convert starts, but now it's not getting the correct arguments.
Is this a bug in os.system?
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks,
Cipo
