As "runes" pointed out, you are getting caught by the \a escape sequence. A better solution in this particular case is to see that the SVN utilities all understand forward slashes just fine, so you can use "svnlook log /arms" and it should work. Note that there is also a Python library that wraps the SVN interface so you could also skip the direct calls to svnlook and do this with Python calls instead. Google for "pysvn" for more. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
