Call script which accepts com. line par. from another scriptand error control

[Karim Ali]

Hi James,

Thanks for that. That is exactly what i needed for the error control bit...

What I still dont know though is how do I handle the fact that the first
script is expecting command line parameters. I would like to be able to
replace the command line parameters by a variable such that the second
script can call: first_script.main("command line"). Is this possible?

If i can simply do whatever it is that parse_args() does but on a variable
of my choosing..

Karim
