How to parse the os.system() output in python

[yinglcs]

Hi,

I use os.system() to execute a system command in python.
Can you please tell me how can I parse (in python) the output of the
os.system() ?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Sounds like you want os.popen, not os.system.

With os.system()? You don't.

Read the library reference manual (or for older Pythons, download
and install the module/docs) on the subprocess module.

Maybe you mean to parse the output of the program you run using
os.system. If this is the case, you should redirect the putput of the
program to a file (with ">") and then parse that file.

Best,
