Why don't you visit some sort of Python forum??

I know some Python. Did you write the script in question? If so, under which circumstances would you output that message? (Post code!) If not, read its documentation and possibly contact the author.

C:\Python24>buckwalter2unicode.py <infile.txt> outfile.txt

C:\Python24>

i think the run is done but i have message in outfile (notepade file) is:

(Must specify a file to use store the output! Aborting...)

and the output i want it can not be print in outfile..

C:\Python24>buckwalter2unicode.py outfile.txt <infile.txt

The program obviously wants the output file as a parameter.

If you get the same complaint about the input file, make it

C:\Python24>buckwalter2unicode.py infile.txt outfile.txt

Which way it should be depends on how the .py file is written - is it looking for keyboard input or a filename on the parameter list for input?

Hi... thanks for help
I used this code to get the data from (outfile.txt) file and also i want to run this data (file) in command prompt (DOS) by python code.
Code:

Private Sub GetData()
    Dim tW As String
    Dim tmp() As String
    Dim Words() As String
    Dim gloss() As String
    Open "C:\buckwalter_morphan_1\data\outfile.txt" For Input As #1
    tmp = Split(Input(LOF(1), 1), vbCrLf)
    Close #1
    Dim sLine As String
    For x = 0 To UBound(tmp)
         
        If UCase(Left(tmp(x), 10)) = "  SOLUTION" Then
            Words = Split(tmp(x), "(")
            If UCase(Left(tmp(x + 1), 12)) = "     (GLOSS)" Then
                sLine = sLine & Left(Words(1), InStr(Words(1), ")") - 1)
                gloss = Split(tmp(x + 1), "+")
                sLine = sLine & " (" & Trim(gloss(1)) & ");"
            Else
                sLine = sLine & Left(Words(1), InStr(Words(1), ")") - 1) & ";"
            End If
        ElseIf UCase(Left(tmp(x), 12)) = "     Comment" Then
            Words = Split(tmp(x), ":")
            sLine = sLine & Words(1)
        ElseIf UCase(Left(tmp(x), 5)) = "INPUT" Then
            If sLine <> "" Then
                If Right(sLine, 1) = ";" Then
                    sLine = Left(sLine, Len(sLine) - 1)
                End If
                sLine = sLine & vbCrLf
            End If
            Words = Split(tmp(x), ":")
            sLine = sLine & Trim(Words(1)) & ":"
        ElseIf UCase(Left(tmp(x), 7)) = "LOOK-UP" Then
            'nothing
        End If
    Next
    Debug.Print sLine
    WORDLIST = Split(sLine, vbCrLf)
End Sub

now i have this code but i don Know if it corect or not to open the DOS and run the outfile.txt by python code.. and if is ok where can i put it?
''open command prompt to run Python script
'Open Apath & "dos.bat" For Output As #1
'Print #1, "cd C:\python24"
'Print #1, "buckwalter2unicode.py -o outfile.txt"
'Close #1

'' ShellAndWait Apath & "dos.bat"
Shell Apath & "dos.bat"

please help...
Thanks a lot ..

I added vbcode tags to your code to make it eaier to read.

[CornedBee]

That's not at all helpful. The code you use to read the output is irrelevant if the Python script does not produce output.

This seems to have become a VB question in any case.
