That did it!!! Thanks ramen_noodle

ramen_noodle,

I removed the \\'s from the argv entries at the beginning of the script and that seems to have fixed the problem. It's been a while since I wrote this script originally, but I believe I grabbed that syntax from a sample script I found online, so big ooops I guess.

Thanks for pointing out what I wasn't seeing, may much good karma come your way Smilie.
