Having lots of fun passing parameters ... help!

[DAC]

I've defined a single method in Python using:

def funcAdjacents(inputWord, outputFile):
...
lots of boring stuff
...


and then called it using:

funcAdjacents("SampleWord","outputFile.file")

Which works OK in Python - I get the results I want. But what I'm
trying to do is get inputWord and outputFile to be parameters are
passed on the command line, e.g.

C:\Python\> myScript.py "SampleWord" "outputFile.file"

And just to add to the fun, once I've reached this stage I would like
to either a) be able to execute this .py file from a HTML environment
or b) execute this file as a .exe and embed into HTML (which I can
do).

Has anyone got any ideas?

You get the parameters to a script executed at the shell using

import sys
print sys.argv

or in your case

funcAdjacents(*sys.argv[1:])

Executing this from HTML requires the usage of CGI. But without further
details what you really are after here and what your webenvironment is, we
won't be able to help you.

Thanks Diez, I understand what you mean. I'm fine with the CGI aspect
of things, it was just getting those parameters across which was
difficult.
