i believe i tried that... i'll give it another go, though...

and yes, i do note the \$ escape to prevent the shell from attempting to frak it 
up for me :lol:  i did try that on the above, too, and also escaping the parens 
but came here out of frustration when nothing i was doing was working properly...

yes! thanks! :)

this also tells me what i need to do for a couple of other projects O:)
