Using wildcards with Popen in the Subprocess module

[William Hudspeth]

Hello, 

I am needing to pass an argument to the Popen function of the Subprocess
module that includes a wildcard in the filename. It seems that Popen is
not able to expand wildcards, and treats a filename that includes a
wildcard as a literal.

EX.

var1="/path_to_files/filnames*.doc"
result=Popen(["command",var1]).wait()

Can anyone tell me how I can work around this problem?


Thanks, Bill
