Newbie - pass variable to cscript

[plsullivan1]

import os
os.system('cscript.exe /from:[email protected] /to[email protected]'
"C:\\Program Files\\nasa\\nmail.vbs")

nmail.vbs works. I need to make it work from a python script. Thanks.

It's not firing off the vbs script. Have I got the syntax correct?
Thanks.

My latest attempt:
vBS = "C:\\Program Files\\nasa\\nmail.vbs"
os.system('cscript /from:[email protected] /
to[email protected] /sub:TEST /msg:hello ' + vBS)

My latest attempt:
vBS = "C:\\Program Files\\nasa\\nmail.vbs"
os.system('cscript /from:[email protected] /
to[email protected] /sub:TEST /msg:hello ' + vBS)

Usually arguments come after the script name:

vBS = "C:\\Program Files\\nasa\\nmail.vbs"
os.system('cscript "%s" /from:[email protected]
/to[email protected] /sub:TEST /msg:hello' % vBS)

But I'd use the subprocess module instead of os.system:

import subprocess
ret = subprocess.call(['cscript', vBS, '/from:...', '/to:...'])
