Creating python script with GAM

[Lex Luthor]

Hello,

I would like to create script to make some GAM actions automatic (combining different commands). 

However, although I have already used Python a little bit, I have never done any script. 

I'm wondering how I will be able to manipulate the arguments returned by the GAM commands. 

For example, when I use the command that returns me all the Google Drive files and their fields, can I save the result in a list ? If yes, how ? (Should I just put l = [] and then l = "GAM command" ?)

If it is a char that is returned by the command, can I convert it so that I could exploit the information ? 

I'm a bit lost, your help would be precious. 

Thank you.

Hi Lex

It depends on how you are calling the GAM application from Python but I would guess your output is a string with rows delimited by new lines (\n) and values in each row delimited by commas . 

If that is the case you could use the split function to convert the data to a list. 

Want to paste your code and of the output you are working with? That'll make it easier to see what you are trying to accomplish.
