Did you sort this problem out eventually? We're having the same problem. We pass a DOS command that we've compiled in Vis.C a parameter from within a bash shell and all our quotes are "played" with.
ie. #> ourcommand 'my oh my "this is a string" that is played with' and we get "my oh my \"this is a string\" that is played with" (including the surrounding double quotes) in our DOS program. Not what we want really. --------------------------------- Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com "David Abrahams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Igor Pechtchanski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > Dave, > > > > Actually, upon re-reading the above, it looks like it's a bash quoting > > issue.
