You forgot shellescape(, 1). I suggest you use it even if you do not plan to have anything that needs to be escaped there. >Thanks again. >BTW, is there any way I can run this in background? Everytime I press >F2, >firefox opens and I cannot use vim until I close firefox. So I need to >call this in background and I can edit in vim. Next time I press F2, >another tab in firefox will be opened. Use screen, tmux, dtach or shell own backgrounding capabilities (&) (you may need nohup). Check out 'man bash', section SHELL GRAMMAR/Lists for the latter, 'man screen/tmux/...' for the former. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: APG v1.1.1 iQI1BAEBCgAfBQJUiwAbGBxaeVggPHp5eC52aW1AZ21haWwuY29tPgAKCRCf3UKj HhHSvkz3EACi5TW9DmQqX0/+dbZ2wdg3suDs2AjN7tRNE9aV2nhrWRd+rZkR7hlF KzD4MRjGxfnfup9gzSQpWc2EHho+Ai8SIN1P56I36JRObfLavp+9xIiVmxj/iVLX /sF4AymFc5PJ6+BrzqMiiX4xRWs/bgKh1gaNG+lGEWEvnv0s1UBCICc+WSMh8bEt ze05zdpd9KipHTMff+P1SwU1j1VP4hmI1pzdlUHDvV92T/oaxuqM0etlBpEOK8Q3 igq9qoWisGy/cBLRSZHgYSM8azFUmQD2i/9IpqSi+8cl7DuLPhqbUUn/Xv1SwGib jUeCaIwNAU+fEO9L7ZqNXlnLb6gvN3xpb3nz83SVcwfpjPwQ/ScQUcy4AY9N5C4D h59s2xyRXZZPBlHHRGtYWj0QCkP3s8ToKU0ZJNvNuVlkwaBtAX0wmfAlB9EcwyEd mAtLA2lvNXGaQa5ocR7IZ8M1p/ikijsWrj/bEt2/nXMr8TOuB8bI27RbzkKyOTrz ZRC71D0OVQLstkfC/IsfVqA5XIX+9tyvZoRIgLtR3NqfRa4uNJ+Nudeuk6vujJLM gsmYtnatrU2C1Wv34nbRv1WzM+oI2+iR7/vCv2A9jqBpShC2PAqXX4uk8wQMgnhi AB0lNNR9pu0WU7LTxTspteNWHGzXdhIXZYGJieeBKDXpCbsvyMSdug== =5fP4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
