How to execute a file without the ".exe" extension

Question

I have a file: "abc", it's a executable file. I want to execute it by Phthon or windows CMD.

If I write code:

subprocess.Popen('-a -b -c', creationflags=0x08, shell=True, executable="C:\\abc")

Then, abc executed, but params(-a -b -c) been ignored

So...How Can I reslove it?

Answer 1

Why not change your code to the following version

args = ['C:\\abc', '-a', '-b', '-c']

p = subprocess.Popen(' '.join(args), shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

or without shell=True you can further reduce it to

p = subprocess.Popen(args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

or you can use another method to get output from your exe and pass arguments to it

Output = subprocess.check_output(' '.join(args), shell=True).decode()

Answer 2

在 PowerShell 中

& "C:\abc.exe"

Answer 3

Finally, I found the answer myself, which is to use win32process.CreateProcess Thanks to other authors, but their answers are wrong.

The correct answer is:

win32process.CreateProcess(r"C:\abc", "-a -b -c", None, None, 0, 0, None, None, win32process.STARTUPINFO())

The following answer does not work:

subprocess.Popen('-a -b -c', creationflags=0x08, shell=True, executable="C:\\abc")

#or

p = subprocess.Popen(args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

Maybe I really don't know how to use subprocess , but Windows is really special. Executable files without a suffix cannot be executed directly on the command line.
