Question

I have the following code in my batch file

@ECHO OFF
SET /P NAME=Enter name:
SET /P GENDER = Enter age:
SET /P AGE = Enter gender:
python test.py %NAME% %GENDER% %AGE%
PAUSE

Here is the code in test.py

import sys

print len(sys.argv)

for arg in sys.argv:
    print arg

Here is the output

Enter name:Dodo
Enter age:1
Enter DB gender:M
2
test.py
Dodo
Press any key to continue . . .

I am using python2.5.
How do i pass the age and gender as well? I’m new to both python and batch programming, so go easy on me 🙂

Answer 1

You must not use spaces around the = in set:

SET /P NAME=Enter name:
SET /P GENDER=Enter age:
SET /P AGE=Enter gender:

Otherwise you get a variable that ends with a space and you’d have to use it like %GENDER %.
