Hello,

I slightly modified the example - my code now is:

----
\ctxlua{os.execute([[echo lua -e "print 'WWW'"]])}

\starttext
   A
\stoptext
----

So now I'm able to diagnose what exactly is passed to the command line.

I'm getting:

"
...
languages       > language en is active
lua -e "print "WWW""
{c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map}
...
"

So it can be seen that [surprisingly] character ' was substituted for " - and IMHO this causes the problem.

Could anyone explain why this substitution is performed and how to avoid it?

Best regards,

Lukas
