'.!entry' is not recognized...

[TheSnowman37]

I keep getting this error: "'.!entry' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. The system cannot find the path specified." I don't know how to get rid of this. I've tried the "adding python to environments" thing and it does nothing for it. Can someone send me in the right direction. If you need anymore information just ask.

I'm trying to use the os.system command to instert a command in to the command console to output a text file that is a list of the directory. I'm trying to take inputs from these entry boxes and put them into that os.system command. I also seem to be getting this problem where it bypasses the entry boxes and uses the folder that the file is currentally in.

Would definitely recommend posting example code.

if you don't post your code I can't just guess what the problem is

You're using "entry1" and "entry2" as though they were strings when in reality they're just references to a tk.Entry object. You need to get the current string using the get() method as per the documentation.

 

button1 = tk.Button(text='      Run Command      ', command=command_1(entry1.get()), bg='black', fg='green', font=('helvetica', 12, 'bold'))
button2 = tk.Button(text='      Run Command      ', command=command_2(entry2.get()), bg='black', fg='green', font=('helvetica', 12, 'bold'))

 

also next time use code tags.
