Perhaps you should use a "template" file that contains what varibles are initialized to. I have run into this situation many times, and a file that contains some values to default to is better than anything else... so you would feed your command
myscript.pl c:/path/to/template.file better to spawn off things as such than to try to pass every single arguement to the command line. > -----Original Message----- > From: Hunt, Robert W.
