filename variables

[cyborg4]

If in Windows XP I use:

openstring= "test.py >foo.txt"
os.system(openstring)

it works.


But if I use:

file1='foo.txt'
openstring= "test.py >"+file1

It gives an IOError about no such file or directory as
\\mydidr\\foo.txt

What does it mean ?

That you obviously didn't give us the actual (non-) working code, but
something you believe is essential. Because

file1='foo.txt'
openstring= "test.py >"+file1

certainly doesn't give that error.

Post a running, self contained examplpe, and we might be able to help you.
