thanx for your help.

it's a searchword so the user can write in a input-field a searchword 
and this will send to the extension and will display the results of the 
search in a list. and cooluri will take this parameter - so on which 
point should i remove the unwanted characters?

so i used it, but had to change it a little bit in the <to>-node:

<to>SELECT "$1"</to>

so it works for me now with inverted commas and space character :) (not 
with  quotation marks - but it's ok)


thanx again jan!


bye and greetings
