I am trying to use os.system() to call another program that takes an input and an output file. The command I use is ~250 characters due to the long folder names.
When I try to call the command, I'm getting an error: The input line is too long
.
I'm guessing there's a 255 character limit
(its built using a C system call, but I couldn't find the limitations on that either).
I tried changing the directory with os.chdir()
to reduce the folder trail lengths, but when I try using os.system()
with "..\folder\filename"
it apparently can't handle relative path names. Is there any way to get around this limit or get it to recognize relative paths?
