The parameter was wanted to be passed as it is and to be able to quote a shell was used? I think, quoting is to avoid that a shell interprets parameters, so I think in best case ending up with passing as it is (i.e. not evaluating). Also splitting parameters at word boundaries is a shell concept. That's why Javas Runtime.exec() has a `String[] cmdarray'. I guess cmdarray[0] is the command binary, cmdarray[1] the argv[0] and cmdarray[2] the first parameter (fortunality the Javadoc[1] does take the fun letting the developers guess, but it states that exec() executes, cmdarray is the command and envp the environment, who had guessed that! SCNR). So for passing arguments as it is a shell is not suited. > Shell is designed to be convenient for normal (interactive) cases, > as the cost of confusion and obscurity in weird cases. [I wouldn't call it `interactive or confusing', there are a lot of useful shell scripts also :-)] oki, Steffen [1] http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html#exec(java.lang.String[],%20java.lang.String[]) ---[ End of message ]---------------------------------------------->8======= About Ingenico: Ingenico is the world's leading provider of payment solutions, with over 15 million terminals deployed across the globe.
