Re^2: script help (worked well on unix but NOT on winxp) newbie

this is what i get as a response content (this was copied/paste as it looks identical below(note* the bannertext on the same line): it appears to take the reclink variable but nothing else, I know the problem lies in my code not the site im retrieving.

It looks like you have a GET request URL stored in Reciprocal. I also note that URL is using ';' as a delimiter which, while appropriate and standard, causes confusion for some scripts. You might have a newer version of a module on the new box. <-radiant.matrix-> A collection of thoughts and links from the minds of geeks The Code that can be seen is not the true Code I haven't found a problem yet that can't be solved by a well-placed trebuchet	[reply]
