Well, /'s were nowhere in your post.  You had \'s.  I used \'s not /'s.
Be -exacting-.  This is probably why you run into so many bugs--doing
things half-heartedly and inaccurately.  At this point I feel no sympathy.

That's -not- what I have, nor is it based on what you originally posted.  I
showed you the -exact- two points you needed to adjust.  You adjusted more
than that.  Apparently you don't understand contextual snippets, so here's
the complete solution spelled out byte by byte:

Then: le="echo";lg="\"\\033&o";pa="Fvarsearchnum="{"55555"{";CompileFile(\\\\"260268.cs\\\\");\\015\" >/tmp/dennistest"
Then: system le<lg{pa

That is -EXACTLY- what I have.  Copied and pasted.  No errors, no mistakes,
and it generates what you first said you wanted.  Assuming what you said
you wanted is even correct, which I give a 50/50 chance at this stage.

You don't -need- @once.  It was an easy way to test it because I basically
just have to get to that point to have the code run, but it's not
necessary to make the code work.  The same code will run at any point.

For me, this thread is dead.  I've already given you the answer that I've
proven works on a *nix system, and am unwilling to bother spending more
time reading inaccurate and imcomplete failure reports when the problem is
solved, IMHO.  If you won't use the answer provided, why should I waste my
time trying to provide more help?  Short answer: no good reason.  All I end
up doing is feeling like my time is being wasted.  Bugger that.  Stick a
fork in, you're done as far as I'm concerned.
