-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 5/20/2008 9:14 PM: | Thanks for you rapid response. | | My rm command use background:
You didn't answer what version of rm, nor which platform provides it: rm --version then are you using cygwin, mingw, GnuWin32, or some other port? | I use it in a cpy.bat file So you are dealing with cmd.exe syntax for argument quoting rules. But that still doesn't help us help you - without knowing which windows port you are using, we don't know if it expects \ (as in mingw) or / (as in cygwin) as the directory separator, once rm sees the arguments as collected by the shell. You really are better off asking on the mailing list of wherever you got your pre-compiled rm, rather than on this list. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
