C# -> Python question here.

Code: [Select]
Process yo = Process.Start(@"C:\Python25\python.exe", IO.Local + "\\dicelog.py");Process is System.Diagnostics.Process, and IO.Local is the stored value of the local directory that the program is housed within.

What I am doing: opening python.exe, and throwing it the address of a python program. Which I want it to run. dicelog.py outputs to a text file in the local directory. When checked, the output text file is unchanged after being supposedly worked on by dicelog.py.

Now, I've already tested dicelog.py, and it works. I've tested activating python.exe from this Start() method, and that also works. I can only assume that I am throwing an improper argument at it. The problem is that I've read the documentation, and I still can't understand what I'm doing wrong in my argument that I'm throwing to it. Throwing the file address as the only thing in the argument is supposed to work, isn't it?

Have you checked the working directory of the C# program?

Everything is nicely nestled inside of the same directory except for python.exe, but that is definitely a concern that should be checked, yes.

Your post also prompted me to check and see if the python file's text file reference was directing properly, and it is doing so as well.

Is this a good example of throwing arguements or whatnot?

That is one example. The one I'm using directly is this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h6ak8zt5.aspx

What I'm really not sure about is what python.exe is doing with this once it gets it. It's not giving me any debug information, so I'm not sure what's going on once it gets to that point. The dialog of python.exe opens and shuts before I can even read it.

EDIT

I FIXED IT

It involved changing the file to .pyw, and not trying to run it through python.exe at all.

How do I write a new line in a file?

So with
Code: [Select]
infile.write(?)
what would I type for ?

Language? Some have writeline methods, some you would write a newline character, some handle it differently.

Well, I'm trying to teach myself Java now, from Head First Java. However, an exercise taken out of the book does not seem to work.

Sort of. the JFrame appears, with the button, but when clicked, no oval appears the first time or changes color.

Just a guess, but that looks like either a mistake in the code, or a mistake in posting it, as it probably should be paintComponent.

I really, really want this to end up being the case. That would be hilarious.
