passing -rx flag in system call in processing

[scooter6 at gmail.com]

I'm trying to execute the following within processing but doesn't seem to
work...


@done
system "/u/appl/fp/dreport filename -f create -rx zf -u -a -v createselect

where 'zf' is a variable I have defined in my processing....

this doesn't do anything.....I have verified with a msgbox the value of zf
is correct before it attempts to execute the above....

but if I run from the command line

/u/appl/fp/dreport filename -f create -rx "value of zf" -u -a -v
createselect it runs just fine....

Is it possible I can't run this because the processing is an output
processing table of  filename ?
(i.e. the same file I'm trying to run the system command is the same file
where the output processing resides)

thanks

Scott
