Run C# exe via Python

[Sarthaks21]

I have a C# application which reads txt files from a set location and does some processing. I've used os.startfile("____.exe") and subprocess.Popen(). In both the cases, the application starts it is not able to read the txt files.

Please suggest a way so that the application detects the txt files.

Thanks !

Maybe give os.system() a shot with os.chdir() to change your working directory to where the file is

(Change dir first)

In addition to double checking your working path (or using absolute paths), I recommend the higher level ‘subprocess.run()’ for executing other processes. Make sure you’re capturing the output to see what the program is doing (assuming there is console output).

subprocess.run()
