how to get output.

[indu_shreenath at yahoo.co.in]

Hey,

I did write the following:
but it does not work.

import subprocess as sp
try:
     = sp.Popen("DIR . /AD /B", stdout=sp.PIPE)
    result = p.communicate()[0]
    print result
 except:
     print "error"

This throws error.
DIR . /AD /B will list out only directories in the current directory.

Thanks,
Indu
