Another (and probably better) option is to use the multi-part (array) interface to system().
That call doesn't use the shell at all, so the problem never arises. Differences between shells tend to give problems, even under Unix, but under windows the situation is definately worse. Side note: Cygwin's file system is too broken to be considered Unix, but it's not DOS either. If you want bash as shell, try using then minw version instead. -- groeten, Taco _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ref.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
