http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35817/whats-the-best-way-to-escape-ossystem-calls-in-python seems to cover most of the possibilities. Particularly, do you really need shell=True? If not, you can just call Popen([command, path], stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE) and not worry about it. -- Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
