Hi Sharon, > then issue the following command 'get_iplayer -g 33840' & onwards, but > no matter what I do the end of the list shows up as '>' and doesn't > allow me to download anything at all! My hunch... One of the parameters you have entered has a single quote, ‘'’, and that starts a quoted string which can cross the end of the first line into subsequent lines. The normal shell's prompt of ‘$’ changes to ‘>’ to show this line is a continuation of the previous one. $ echo foo foo $ echo foo'bar > xyzzy' foobar xyzzy $ Remove the quoting behaviour of the single quote by prefixing it with a backslash, ‘\’, which is an ‘escape hatch’ for proving a literal quote despite its special meaning. This is known as ‘escaping’, e.g. ‘escape the ' with a \’. -- Cheers, Ralph. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
