Python: String + String

Question

On normal cases string + string works but here I cant get URL1 inside my chrome code.

URL1 = "https://www.google.com/"
os.system('start chrome "url here" --incognito --window-position=-10,-3 --window-size=550,1030')

I've tried doing

os.system('start chrome "%s" --incognito --window-position=-10,-3 --window-size=550,1030') % (URL1)

but it didn't work either.

Any help?

os.system(f'start chrome "{URL1}" --incognito --window-position=-10,-3 --window-size=550,1030') — Janith

Welcome to StackOverflow. What happened when "it didn't work either" ? Did you get an error message? Did nothing happen? — rajah9

You can use f-string

Code try it here

import os

URL1 = "https://www.google.com/"

os.system(f'start chrome "{URL1}" --incognito --window-position=-10,-3 --window-size=550,1030')

You run os.system and then use tuple with URL1, concat with result

os.system('start chrome "%s" --incognito --window-position=-10,-3 --window-size=550,1030') % (URL1)

Need change to

os.system(('start chrome "%s" --incognito --window-position=-10,-3 --window-size=550,1030') % (URL1))

You can just try f-string formatting:

os.system(f'start chrome {URL1} --incognito --window-position=-10,-3 --window-size=550,1030')

This will work.
