Hi Robert,

I posted the code today in the fidogazette..

This is what I've got working so far:

int main() {
char cs,ga,cc,sp,cg,x;
cs="";
int l;
bbbs("cls");
printf("\e[1;1H\e[1;33mTo get the weather for names containing spaces,"); 
printf("\e[2;1H\e[1;33menter the name in quotes or use an underscore"); 
printf("\e[3;1H\e[1;33mfor example, both \"new york\" and new_york work."); 
printf("\n\n");
cs=input("Enter City:    ",50,0);
cc=sprintf("\"%s\"",cs);
system(sprintf("/usr/bin/curl wttr.in/%s -O",cc),1,0); 
system(sprintf("/usr/bin/head -n 7 %s",cc),1,0); printf("\e[30;1H\e[1;33mPress 
a key to continue"); getch();
// x=system(sprintf("cat /home/bbbs/%s>/dev/null 2>&1",cs),1,0);
// return(x);
}

Everything is working great, but I'm still working on removing the the quoted 
filename that it leaves behind in the /bbbs/directory.  Read the article in 
today's Fidogazette, you'll see what I am talking about <g>.  I also posted 
links to curl and head in that article.

This is what it looks like when it's run:


===cut here====
To get the weather for names containing spaces, enter the name in quotes or use 
an underscore for example, both "new york" and new_york work.
