if statement not separating content - windows

See this snippet of code:
exclude = ["BURSAR", "SHOP"]
for name in exclude:
if name in machineName: # machineName is defined further up in the script.
inputText.insert("end", machineName + " has been excluded.\n")
else:
command = subprocess.Popen( commands here...)
It's job is to exclude any machine which includes certain words within it's name.
Currently, if I pass two machines to the script, one of which is called 'BURSAR3' (for example), it will register the fact that it should be excluded, and runs the inputText to show that fact. Unfortunately it also continues to pass the name to the command below, when it shouldn't. I can even replace the 'else:' with 'if name not in exclude:' and it will still fail in the same way!
What have I done wrong here? It looks like it should be so simple...
Thanks,
Chris.
p.s. apologies if the title is rubbish - I couldn't think how to define it better...

Use the optional else after a for:
exclude = ["BURSAR", "SHOP"]
for name in exclude:
if name in machineName: # machineName is defined further up in the script.
inputText.insert("end", machineName + " has been excluded.\n")
break
else:
command = subprocess.Popen( commands here...)
The else is executed ONLY if the for loop completed naturally, without encountering the break. Thus, if none of the blacklisted words appear in the machine name, the else block is executed.
Of course, there's an easier way to do this:
exclude = ["BURSAR", "SHOP"]
if any((name in machineName for name in exclude)): # machineName is defined further up in the script.
inputText.insert("end", machineName + " has been excluded.\n")
else:
command = subprocess.Popen( commands here...)

Not able to update the tester name in a Test Set from vbscript

I am been trying to search online for a solution but due to lack of knowledge in HP ALM I am not able to search proper hit tags
Set RunFactory = tsTest.RunFactory
Set obj_theRun = RunFactory.AddItem(CStr(testrunname))
obj_theRun.Status = sExecutionStatus '"Passed" '-- Status to be updated
obj_theRun.Tester = strTesterName
Getting error in this line object does not support obj_theRun.Tester
I just want to update the Tester column(Not Responsible tester) in Test set via vbscript. Please refer to the attached image at the very last column (TesterAny help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
The documentation for ALM says the Tester Name can be specified by passing an array as the argument to AddItem.
https://admhelp.microfocus.com/alm/api_refs/ota/Content/ota/topic8805.html?Highlight=tester
An array consisting of the following elements:
Name - The name of the run (string. required).
Tester - The name of the user responsible (string. optional)
Location - The host name (string. optional). The default is the host name of the current machine
So change your code to this:
Set runFactory = tsTest.RunFactory
Dim newRunArgs(3)
newRunArgs(0) = testrunname ' `testrunname` is already a string so you don't need CStr.
newRunArgs(1) = "tester name goes here"
Set newRunArgs(2) = Nothing
Set newRun = RunFactory.AddItem( newRunArgs )
newRun.Status = sExecutionStatus '"Passed" '-- Status to be updated

Locating and opening programs based on a word in python

I have a script where a user will input a program to open, and that script will open the program. The way I've done it isn't very efficient and so I'm leading into problems.
If I input "Open chrome", the script starts a search for a file called chrome.exe on your computer and then launches it. This works for a few programs like chrome.exe, steam.exe etc, but there are programs where their exe file is named differently.
For example, "Open word". The script will search for a program named word.exe, but the Microsoft Word exe file is actually named WINWORD.EXE, so the search will fail.
So my question is how can I make this more efficient? I know I could add exceptions and find the directory of the file myself but this would be impractical to do for many programs.
with sr.Microphone() as source:
success = False
print (">")
audio = r.listen(source)
try:
print("Processing...")
t = r.recognize_google(audio)
print (": " + t)
except sr.UnknownValueError:
print("Unknown input")
continue
except sr.RequestError as e:
print("An error occured at GAPI\nA common cause is lack of internet connection")
continue
if "open" in t:
t = t.replace("open","")
t = t.replace(" ","")
z = t
speak = "Opening " + z
t = t + ".exe"
print (t)
for a,d,f in os.walk("C:\\"):
for files in f:
if files == t.lower() or files == t.capitalize() or files == t.upper():
s.Speak(speak)
pat = os.path.join(a,files)
print (pat)
sp.call([pat])
success = True
Edit:
I did some research and found out about something called filename pattern searching. I've been unable get it running, any ideas?

Strict searching against two different files

I have two questions regarding the following code:
import subprocess
macSource1 = (r"\\Server\path\name\here\dhcp-dump.txt")
macSource2 = (r"\\Server\path\name\here\dhcp-dump-ops.txt")
with open (r"specific-pcs.txt") as file:
line = []
for line in file:
pcName = line.strip().upper()
with open (macSource1) as source1, open (macSource2) as source2:
items = []
for items in source1:
if pcName in items:
items_split = items.rstrip("\n").split('\t')
ip = items_split[0]
mac = items_split[4]
mac2 = ':'.join(s.encode('hex') for s in mac.decode('hex')).lower() # Puts the :'s between the pairs.
print mac2
print pcName
print ip
Firstly, as you can see, the script is searching for the contents of "specific-pcs.txt" against the contents of macSource1 to get various details. How do I get it to search against BOTH macSource1 & 2 (as the details could be in either file)??
And secondly, I need to have a stricter matching process as at the moment a machine called 'itroom02' will not only find it's own details, but also provide the details for another machine called '2nd-itroom02'. How would I get that?
Many thanks for your assistance in advance!
Chris.
Perhaps you should restructure it a bit more like this:
macSources = [ r"\\Server\path\name\here\dhcp-dump.txt",
r"\\Server\path\name\here\dhcp-dump-ops.txt" ]
with open (r"specific-pcs.txt") as file:
for line in file:
# ....
for target in macSources:
with open (target) as source:
for items in source:
# ....
There's no need to do e.g. line = [] immediately before you do for line in ...:.
As far as the "stricter matching" goes, since you don't give examples of the format of your files, I can only guess - but you might want to try something like if items_split[1] == pcName: after you've done the split, instead of the if pcName in items: before you split (assuming the name is in the second column - adjust accordingly if not).

How to validate a path given in an inputdialog?

I'm trying to validate a path given in an inputdialog.
"a = path to file p.e. d:\mydoc.txt (but can be every file)
let a = inputdialog(docinput)
while 1
try
read (a)
catch /E484:/
echo "The file doesn't exist"
let a = inputdialog(docinput,a,"return")
if a == "return"
return
endif
endtry
endwhile
I want to check if the filename exists using the read command.
But it seems that read cannot read a variable.
read has to be something like this:
read d:\mydoc.txt
1) How can I read a variable?
If read gives an error message (E484 (cannot read the file)), the script has to return to the inputdialog.
I tried to do this with a try/endtry within a while/endwhile loop but I haven't found out how to break out of the loop.
2) How can I return the script to the inputdialog if the file doesn't exist?
You must use :execute to :read the filename contained in variable a:
execute "read " . a
:read is the wrong tool for the job, use filereadable() (or filewriteable(), depending on what you want to do with that file) instead:
if filereadable(expand(a))
" do something
else
" do something else
endif
I can't understand your second question.

Saving Tab names and ConqueShells along with Vim sessions

Is there any way to get vim to save the tab names (assigned via the Tab Name script) and/or a terminal emulator (set up via the Conque Shell script) upon issuing the :mksession [fileName] command?
Observe below (zoom in), I have a working session on the left, and the same session loaded via the vim -S fileName command, on the right. The assigned tab labels revert to absolute paths, ConqueShell terminal is interpreted as a file.
After learning some basic VimScript I just gave up and used Python instead (to cite one example, you can't save global information to a session if it is a list). Here is a solution I found for saving tab names (will post a solution for ConqueShell if I find one)
Put the following in your .vimrc file and use whatever mapping you want to quickly save and load your sessions
"Tokenize it so it has the following form (without spaces)
"Label1 JJ Label2 JJ Label3 JJ Label4
"Or if you prefer use something other than 'JJ' but DO NOT
"use symbols as they could interfere with the shell command
"line
function RecordTabNames()
"Start at the first tab with no tab names assigned
let g:TabNames = ''
tabfirst
"Iterate over all the tabs and determine whether g:TabNames
"needs to be updated
for i in range(1, tabpagenr('$'))
"If tabnames.vim created the variable 't:tab_name', append it
"to g:TabNames, otherwise, append nothing, but the delimiter
if exists('t:tab_name')
let g:TabNames = g:TabNames . t:tab_name . 'JJ'
else
let g:TabNames = g:TabNames . 'JJ'
endif
"iterate to next tab
tabnext
endfor
endfunction
func! MakeFullSession()
call RecordTabNames()
mksession! ~/.vim/sessions/Session.vim
"Call the Pythin script, passing to it as an argument, all the
"tab names. Make sure to put g:TabNames in double quotes, o.w.
"a tab label with spaces will be passed as two separate arguments
execute "!mksession.py '" . g:TabNames . "'"
endfunc
func! LoadFullSession()
source ~/.vim/sessions/Session.vim
endfunc
nnoremap <leader>mks :call MakeFullSession()<CR>
nnoremap <leader>lks :call LoadFullSession()<CR>
Now create the following text file and put it somewhere in your PATH variable (echo $PATH to get it, mine is at /home/user/bin/mksession.py) and make sure to make it executable (chmod 0700 /home/user/bin/mksession.py)
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""This script attempts to fix the Session.vim file by saving the
