Team,

I would like to enter a value at execution time within the *system* key
world environment.
However, I am having difficulties entering a value within a quoted string.

For example, I can hard code the following and it works fine:

system("start putty.exe -X -ssh -pw mypassword myuserid@myhostname")

But this requires hard coding the password in the script.
I would like to do something like the following:

system("start putty.exe -X -ssh -pw " ARGV[0] " myuserid@myhostname")

Where: ARGV[0] holds the password entered by the invoker of the script.

Is there a way to substitute within a quoted string?
Is there a better way to do this?

Thank you

Victor
