I have a program installed (rocs) which I run using cygwin (but is not in python). How can I run a python script and then call the other program? For example: Python Code # this line opens a file Python Code # this line splits the file into 4 different files rocs # this line calls the program 'rocs' to run on the newly formed files Python Code # this line renames rocs output files and saves them in the right place. I am relatively new to python and don't know a lot about cygwin. Please remember that if you try to answer me :) Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Pyhton-script-to-call-another-program-tp23408052p23408052.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
