Using ' and ' to encapsulate your shell command, as Bryce shows, allows the " and " to be processed correctly. Close your eyes - feel the KiX!

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	WIth a great deal of embarrasment.. The choice of green and yellow was not appropriate given the expanse of cornfields where it drifted to. Perfect flight until apogee (about 6000'). The flight computer blew the tiny drouge chute out perfectly at apogee, but the force of the ejection knocked the nosecone off, deploying the main recovery chute at high altitude. Normally, the flight computer would pop the main chute at 4-500' to minimize drift. Needless to say, it can drift up to 2' for every 1' of altitude, so it may have come down over 2 miles away. Next flight will have a GPS to transmit it's Long/Lat back to me as it descends. Anyway, it either sank quickly in the river, came down in the road and the chute snagged on a car - which dragged it miles away, or someone ran off with it with tales of alien abduction. I fear I'll never know for sure! Hmm, you're in upstate NY? Keep your eyes out - it went down in the Pine Island area! (41:18:41.44N - 74:26:41.96W) Here's the web page of the rocket club I belong to. Lots of cool photos. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	Yeah - saw that... If you look around their site, it will become clear I have nothing to do with it's design or support. I have submitted some photos for posting, though. The link to the "old gallery" still works.

Stanley Stanley Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2004-06-03 Posts: 130 Loc: Upstate NY, USA	LOL I'm at 42.77N 73.70W so I doubt it drifted this far, but I will keep my eye on the local news for any UFOs. _________________________ Taxation WITH representation isn't so hot, either!
