curl -D - -s -u tj:SECKRET \ -d 'text=BstTwt: ❥ @tj Her:"The lightbulbs are over the dryer" Me:"The rooster flies east at dawn" Her:"What?" Me: "Oh, I thought we were talking like spies" &user=tj' http://twitter.com/direct_messages/new.xml If you use double quotation in linux use \ to escape shell meta character If you are in windows use ^ to escape shell meta character -- A K M Mokaddim http://talk.cmyweb.net http://twitter.com/shiplu Stop Top Posting !! বাংলিশ লেখার চাইতে বাংলা লেখা অনেক ভাল
