Hi RaptorX Your command has double quotes between double quotes (nested double quotes). In such cases the shell doesn't know where the quoted statement finishes. You need to use escaped double quotes for this case. Or you can use single quotes for outer quotes and double for inner.
Use of single quotes in outer quotes means everything (character, number or special character) is passed on to the command.
