What command produces that error?

What did you do between calls to cause the error to "move" from one file to another?

Its when I input ./test -s Hello magzine after which I get a error message saying use quotes.....and then when i use quotes like ./test -s "Hello magzine"......the errors comes up......but yeah file is being created......

.........also at the time I keep the .html file open in the editor and simple refresh it to check the results inside the file......

But If I close and reopen the file the error is gone.....may be it needs to be reopened instead of just refreshed......

The error you posted was:
Quote:
Could not open the file /home/kev/Documents/test1/mylist8.html using the Unicode (UTF-8) character coding.
What is the command that produces that error?

I also asked, "What did you do between calls to cause the error to "move" from one file to another?"

I only input ./test -s "Hello magzine"

It is fine with other command options

That is not a command.

Please execute the command; cut and paste the command and its output (do not retype anything) and post it here.
