Hello Python coders,

Analyze this;

#!/usr/bin/env python
# sample script to show how to same SMS to multiple recipients

import gammu
import sys

# Check parameters count
if len(sys.argv) < 3 or sys.argv[1] in ['--help', '-h', '-?']:
print 'Usage: mass-sms <TEXT> [number]...'
sys.exit(1)

# Configure Gammu
sm = gammu.StateMachine()
sm.ReadConfig()
sm.Init()

# Prepare SMS template
message = {'Text': sys.argv[1], 'SMSC': {'Location': 1}}         # HELP ME HERE

# Send SMS to all recipients on command line
for number in sys.argv[1:]:                                                         #and here i guess
message['Number'] = number
try:
sm.SendSMS(message)
except Exception, exc:
print 'Sending to %s failed: %s' % (number, exc)


My issue is simple but not sure how to work on it;

I have some texts here;

/usr/bin/python mass-sms.py "we are smart people" `cat /root/numbers.txt`

I want to send the message "We are smart people" to the number in numbers.txt (some cellphone)

My problem is i can only read the first word "we" when i have sys.argv[1], which is OK, sys.argv[1:], i have anything later than and so on...


How can i read a file using this and output texts like "we are smart people" to the above eg;

/usr/bin/python mass-sms.py `cat sometext` `cat /root/numbers.txt`

Hope am clear.
