Hi Sam
I'm a Windows person so I can help a lot, but I assume the command isn't
broken over two lines as it arrived to me? Also your backslash at the end
(it is part of the command I presume) should be \\". As it is you've just
escaped the closing double-quote to include it in the command string, so
that the overall string isn't terminated.
Cheers,
Rob
