      Hey Ben!              If the perl command didn't work as I previously posted try this       instead;               perl -e "print \"Please do not adjust your set.\n\""              I read somewhere that DOS-think perls have issues with single quotes.       Note the internallized double quotes are escaped so that perl doesn't       confuse them with the double quotes that enclose the command farmed out       to perl from the bash prompt. Let me know which one works, if either.       Also there might be the path issue outstanding. I've seen a few       examples in Windows perl script that require the entire path such as;               c:\wherever\bin\perl.exe              but I think that might be an older issue with ActiveState Perl and       not the cygwin one. However it looks like the more Unixie bash single       quotes for the command to be farmed out with internal unescaped double       quotes within the command may not work. In an actual Linux enviroment       either/or will work as shown below;              ----- ye ol gpm cut n' paste starts       maurice@xena [ ~ ]$ perl -e "print \"Please do not adjust your       set.\n\""       Please do not adjust your set.       maurice@xena [ ~ ]$ perl -e 'print "Please do not adjust your set.\n"'       Please do not adjust your set.       ----- ye ol gpm cut n' paste ends              Neat eh? Let me know what works there and I will act accordingly.              Life is good,       Maurice              --- GNU bash, version 4.2.10(2)-release (x86_64-atom-linux-gnu)        * Origin: Pointy Stick Society (1:261/38.9)    |
