hi,
i just develop a python script and wondering how to call it in batch file so that i can automate in schedule task.
say,
in cmd i need to type in python.py <input.txt> <output.txt>
but if i write in batch file, how shall i go with it say python.py cannot be recognize as batch file?
#i have installed python 3.2 already.
The requirement of the batch file is like
Code: Select all
@echo off
cd \
cd input
for %%f in (*.txt) do (
echo "%%~nf"
"D:\impressio\deployment code\add_null.py" .\"%%~nf.txt" .\ %%~nf_processed.txt
)
if anyone know the solution.

I'm studying Python so I think I might be able to help you. Could you post your python code?
Edit
Wait. Maybe your P code isn't necessary.
Try this:
Code: Select all
@echo off
cd \input
for %%f in (*.txt) do (
echo "%%~nf"
"D:\impressio\deployment code\add_null.py" "%%~f" ".\%%~Nf_processed.txt"
)
If it does what you want it to, you can remove the ECHO.

I'm not familiar with python myself, but there will be an interpreter called python.exe.
So I'm pretty sure something like...
Code: Select all
@echo off
cd \
cd input
for %%f in (*.txt) do (
echo "%%~nf"
path/to/python.exe "D:\impressio\deployment code\add_null.py" .\"%%~nf.txt" .\ %%~nf_processed.txt
)
...would suffice.
I'm not sure if the arguments will be passed onto the script though, there will be a way if this doesn't work (maybe a switch?).
Give it a go anyway and get back to us
Thanks

As far as I know (and tested), arguments in Python don't need switches to be passed on. And, just like cmd, its first argument (0) is always the program full path.
Just thought I'd share that.
