So here's an example of the terminal line I'm trying to run after importing the OS into a Python Script of mine:
user$ echo variable | thecommand
Even though OS imports have been working for me lately, the fact that the variable is in the MIDDLE of the imported OS command is not allowing my code to run:
#! /bin/python
import os
variable = 'thevariable'
os.system ("echo "+variable +" | thecommand")
the above is what I have tried in a few different syntax's with no success. Is there a way to accomplish what I'm looking to do using the os.system method?
Don't use os.system(). it is deprecated. Instead try
import subprocess
variable = 'thevariable'
subprocess.call("echo "+variable +" | thecommand", shell=True)
the shell=True means that the command will be run in a bash process so that echo and the pipe would work.
