Hi, the problem is that the string: For Linux VDR from Germany (brian_dorling@xxxxxxxxxxx) is not being seen as a single entity and therefore WGET is taking the "For" as bleonging to the -U parameter, and the rest as URLs. See below: My BBC WGET Script 27/02/2004 V1.00 For Linux VDR from Germany (brian_dorling@xxxxxxxxxxx)+ wget -UFor Linux VDR from Germany '(brian_dorling@xxxxxxxxxxx)' -Obleb-xmltv.bz2 'http://bleb.org/tv/data/listings?days=-1,1,1&format=XMLTV&file=BZIP2&channels=bbc1,bbc2,bbc3,bbc4'

This works from a script, but with errors, if I code it like this:
WGETCMD="wget -U${APPL} -O${LOC} ${TVDATA}"
Cheers Brian

If I look at this with "set -x" the WGEt command looks like this:wget '-U'\''For' Linux VDR from Germany '(brian_dorling@xxxxxxxxxxx)'\''' '-O'\''bleb-xmltv.bz2'\''' ''\''http://bleb.org/tv/data/listings?days=-1,1,1&format=XMLTV&file=BZIP2&channels=bbc1,bbc2,bbc3,bbc4'\'''An this one will not run if pasted into a shell.

Not sure where those extra "3D" characters came from.It's an encoding of =, "=3D" - equivalent to "%2D" in a URL, for example. Dunno why your original post needed encoding, but something thought it did. Anyway, you wrote:as I am new to this, maybe someone can help even thought it is slightly off-topic:That's not a problem.My BBC WGET Script 27/02/2004 V1.00 wget -U'For Linux VDR from Germany (brian_dorling@xxxxxxxxxxx)' -O'bleb-xmltv.bz2''http://bleb.org/tv/data/listings?days=-1,1,1&format=XMLTV&file=BZIP2&channels=3Dbbc1,bbc2,bbc3,bbc4'[snip]Has anyone any ideas what is wrong? Obviously its staring to parse the -Uparameters as a URL, but why?Sounds like the quotes are being lost. What platform/language is the script written in? Can you paste it into a list posting/put it online somewhere? Cheers, Andrew---------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributed to the bleb.org/tv developer list.
