open file on server with notepad via windows cmd in python -


i trying opne file located on server using windows cmd. following thing:

import os  os.system('pushd '+ \\server\pathtofile) os.system('start notepad '+ nameoffile)

the point works if enter hand in cmd. if try within python not work. error message:

cmd.exe started path given above current directory. unc-paths not supported, therefore windows-directory used  current directory.

the actual error message in german, that's why translated , i'm not sure whether it's understandable or not. happens path notepad looking current file c:\windows instead of path indicated.

windows doesn't support setting current directory unc path, , wouldn't have worked anyway since 2 separate os.system commands.

you mount drive on path , use os.chdir, make more complex yet!

you don't need current directory change. os.system deprecated, it's recommended use subprocess instead.

so change code run command providing full path file:

import subprocess subprocess.call(["start","notepad",os.path.join("\\server\pathtofile",nameoffile)],shell=true)

but suspect you'd better off with

os.startfile(os.path.join("\\server\pathtofile",nameoffile))

(default associations of windows open "notepad" in background, that's one-line & simple, & users can change editor used changing text file association in windows)

arrays - What causes a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and how do I prevent it? -

what arrayindexoutofboundsexception mean , how rid of it? here code sample triggers exception: string[] name = {"tom", "dick", "harry"}; for(int = 0; i<=name.length; i++) { system.out.print(name[i] +'\n'); } your first port of call should documentation explains reasonably clearly: thrown indicate array has been accessed illegal index. index either negative or greater or equal size of array. so example: int[] array = new int[5]; int boom = array[10]; // throws exception as how avoid it... um, don't that. careful array indexes. one problem people run thinking arrays 1-indexed, e.g. int[] array = new int[5]; // ... populate array here ... (int index = 1; index <= array.length; index++) { system.out.println(array[index]); } that miss out first element (index 0) , throw exception when index 5. valid indexes here 0-4 inclusive. correct, idiomatic for statement here be: for (int index = 0; index <...
