Hi Mark
The single quotes do work on Linux. Thanks for you suggestion.
Still, both single and double quotes have failed on Windows.
By the way, do you or anyone else have any idea that why the * does not work
on Linux, which is independent of the quote issue?
Following NOT Work Following Works
---------------------- --------------------------
-q //[EMAIL PROTECTED] -q //[EMAIL PROTECTED]
-q '//[EMAIL PROTECTED]' -q '//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
-q "//[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -q "//[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
This is an important query for retrieving selected element(s). I need help
badly.
Charles
