Hi there, I have a quite a simple problem, although as a newbie, my current attempts to solve it have all failed!

I am using a web based application to send a Query String via the GET method to a cgi application, with the intention of using the query string as part of a command line request such that if the query string is goat, then the command line executed within the cgi script will be

cd goat

Any help would be appreciated, as I've had a few problems getting this to work

Thanks

You don't give any details on what you have tried, but I would suggest that you have a look at the CGI package assuming that you are using PERL.

The package will do all the hardwork of getting the fields from within the web page.
