+--- Thread: EXE file inside the loop (/thread-13814.html)
EXE file inside the loop - iwsyang - Nov-01-2018
I have a python loop, inside the loop, it calls an exe file.
What I want is every time when the exe file finishes the execution, then start the next iteration,
but now all the exe files runs almost together.
What should I do?
for file in folders:
remote_path = '/miadmfggp_live/' + file
local_path = "C://yardi_backup//zip//"+file
os.system("start C:\yardi_backup\yardi_download.exe {} {}".format(remote_path,local_path))
RE: EXE file inside the loop - j.crater - Nov-01-2018
It is advised to generally avoid os.system when you can and use subprocess instead to execute programs.
You might try with something like:
for file in folders:
remote_path = '/miadmfggp_live/' + file
local_path = "C://yardi_backup//zip//"+file
process = subprocess.Popen("start C:\yardi_backup\yardi_download.exe {} {}".format(remote_path,local_path))
process.wait()
