SP=$'x20';cat$SP/etc/passwd|tail$SP-n+1|head$SP-n+1   do you get the
first line of the password file? If so, you could loop from 1 to n to
retrieve each line of the file, just replace {INDEX} below with the line
you want to read:  
SP=$'x20';cat$SP/etc/passwd|tail$SP-n+{INDEX}|head$SP-n+1   Dan

  I haven't tried tabs.

 One thing I forgot to mention is that the limitation on space is because
the web server converts the space to %20 and this cant be interpreted by
the shell.

Folks,

We came across an interesting bug in a web system where we could
execute any
system command (on AIX) but we could not enter any spaces in the
command and
we would only get the last line of STDOUT.

Has anyone else come across anything like this?

The most we were able to do was cat the last line from system files and
determine if a directory existed.

Cheers,

 Have you tried using tabs instead of spaces?
