Hello,

I have a simple Python question. I want to make a custom menu button in spss dat activates a script that opens an explorer screen for each directory that is defined in a FILE HANDLE. The following code does not work, but it illustrates what I want. In this case, it should open one explorer instance that shows d:\temp. How can I make this work?

import subprocess, os.path
import spss, spssaux
spss.Submit("file handle tmp /name = 'd:/temp'.")
for handle in spssaux.getShow("handles"):
   if os.path.isdir(handle):
      subprocess.Popen("explorer " + handle)

Thank you in advance for your time!

Albert-Jan
