capturing values from system command

[Richard D. Williams]

Scott,

Instead of using python to parse the XML, just use an import command 
within your filepro program after the original system command is done.
Or export your python script results to a text file and import that.

This is assuming you know the destination file name before you start the 
initial script.

I use curl and simply parse the returned HTML response.
