Is there a way to run several consecutive lines in the system command window using python

Question

I have the following line of commands used in sequence from the command window. cd path 1 && file.bat && cd path 2 && printfNav path3 > Testing.txt

Is it possible to have this done through python?

You are looking for the os.system() method. You will need to import os into your python program and then using this method you can send commands to the terminal. The method takes in a string and acts as if you typed that into your terminal. For example os.system('pwd') would cause the terminal to print out your current working directory, and so on so forth with other commands.

`os.system` is deprecated. Don't suggest it. – Bakuriu Jun 25 '19 at 17:26
subprocess.call() would be the more modern method, sorry about that. Further documentation can be found [here](https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html). – Connor Johnson Jun 25 '19 at 17:29
I was able to get all the commands in a windows batch file and run that command. Thank you for answers. – Michel Leger Jun 27 '19 at 12:39
