The problem is the &, which splits the command. Note how your manual execution puts single quotes around just the URL; in the other version, you're not doing that. (Though I'm not entirely sure why your > junk is inside the quotes - is that an error?) Try this: var1 = 'lynx -dump "http://' + someip + '/cgi-bin/xxxx.log&.submit=+++Go%21+++" > junk' ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
