It's best that you use the subprocess module and completely skip dealing with shell escapes. The module is standard with 2.4 but you can get the module and use it for 2.2 or 2.3. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-subprocess.html http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/python/python/dist/src/Lib/subprocess.py Andrew [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
