Single page index problem

Post by Thunderstone »



I am trying to index a single page with a & sign toward the end of the Url.
My command is gw -a http://www.abc.com/company/r&d.htm but I get the error:
[4]+ stopped (tty input) http://www.abc.com/company/r The & sign seems
to
be disrupting the reading of the entire url. Any suggestions as to how I
can
index this type of page?

Thanks.

The & is special to the shell. Put the whole url in quotes.

gw -a "http://www.abc.com/company/r&d.htm"

Just a note. You shouldn't put & in urls like that. Although it will often be
accepted by web browsers and servers, it is not technically allowed.
