oops correction... ithaca is created, but shortith is not..

I'm trying to get a weather report on the bbs.

Right now I'm just trying to get Ithaca's weather, from there I'll be able to 
allow people to enter their city to get their weather... but my script keeps 
failing.

===getweth.bz===
int main() {
char g;
char x;
char i;
g=system(sprintf("/usr/bin/curl wttr.in/ithaca -O"),1,0);
//the above line creates file named ithaca that contains the weather report
x=system(sprintf("awk '$2 !~ /^sa/ && $1 < 8' ithaca > /home/bbbs/shortith"),1, 
0);
//the above line chops off what I need, just the top 7 lines.
i=system(sprintf("/home/bbbs/shortith"),1,0);
return(i);
//sprintf is supposed to show that shortened weather report (but it doesn't).
}
====end getweth.bz=====

What I see when I run the door, is a blank 8 lines... argh.. and the files 
ithaca and shorthith aren't created so of course bbbs can't show them :(

Rudi, I'm sure I'm doing something dumb here :) Any help appreciated :)

Take care,
Janis
