I left out a snippet of code in my command, so Haggi was right, my bad...
In my code I was trying to parse in a string in my command arg for
runTimeCommand such as:
picker.control("mySel")
so in respect to mel I was trying to use the escape characters for the
double quotes
-c "picker.control(\"mySel\")"
Needless to say that didn't work either, but I took Justin's advice rewrote
the command as
mel.eval('''runTimeCommand -ann "Herrow" -cat "User" -cl "python" -c "from
tools.anim import picker;reload(picker);picker('mySel')" customCmd;''')
Realising that mel probably doesnt see the single quotes and python does.
So for now, that works
Cool thanks guys
