I want to use growl for notifications

I need to end up outputting a line to the command line that looks exactly like this-

growlnotify /t:"SYSAX SERVER" "USER has logged in successfully."

and I am trying to have the USER replaced with the variable supplied from the event. My code looks like this-


# Notify Growl of User Login
if ~SERVER_TRIGGER eq "loginok" begin
    setvar ~args, "/t:\"FTP server\"", ~SERVER_ACCOUNT,"\" has logged in successfully.\"";
    ftprunprogram "c:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\growlnotify.com", ~args;
end

I am having real trouble with the double quote situation. Fortunately I realized that \ was the escape character, which I didn't notice in the documentation anywhere. Using \ solved some problems but I can't get the the ~SERVER_ACCOUNT to pass the actual user along with this formatting. It's a syntactical nightmare.
Every time the 'ftprunprogram' line sees two sets of quotes it moves to the next argument, but I need to get the ~SERVER_ACCOUNT parsed to the user and output to the command line inside of double quotes somehow.

Figured it out.

Here it is if anyone is interested. needed to use strprint instead of setvar
Works well to integrate growl


print "Starting to execute server script ...";

# Trim absolute filename to the homefolder- THIS WILL VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR FILE STRUCTURE
    if ~SERVER_ABSFILENAME ne "" begin
    setvar ~FILE, ~SERVER_ABSFILENAME;
    strslice ~FILE, left, 79, 0;
    end

# Notify Growl of User Login
    if ~SERVER_TRIGGER eq "loginok" begin
    strprint ~args, "/t:\"FTP SERVER\" \"", ~SERVER_ACCOUNT, " has logged in successfully.\"";
    end

# Notify Growl of Failed Login
    if ~SERVER_TRIGGER eq "loginerror" begin
    strprint ~args, "/t:\"FTP SERVER\" \"The IP address ", ~SERVER_IPADDRESS, " attempted to log in but failed.\"";
    end

# Notify Growl of File Download
    if ~SERVER_TRIGGER eq "download" begin
    strprint ~args, "/t:\"FTP SERVER\" \"", ~SERVER_ACCOUNT, " has downloaded the file ", ~FILE, "\"";
    end
   
# Notify Growl of Uploaded File
    if ~SERVER_TRIGGER eq "upload" begin
    strprint ~args, "/t:\"FTP SERVER\" \"", ~SERVER_ACCOUNT, " has uploaded the file ", ~FILE, "\"";
    end
   
# Notify Growl of Renamed File
    if ~SERVER_TRIGGER eq "rename" begin
    strprint ~args, "/t:\"FTP SERVER\" \"", ~SERVER_ACCOUNT, " has renamed the file ", ~FILE, "\"";
    end
   
# Notify Growl of Deleted File
    if ~SERVER_TRIGGER eq "delete" begin
    strprint ~args, "/t:\"FTP SERVER\" \"", ~SERVER_ACCOUNT, " has deleted the file ", ~FILE, "\"";
    end

# print the args to the log file
    print "the arguments are: ", ~args;

# run growlnotify with args
    ftprunprogram "c:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\growlnotify.com", ~args;
   
print "Script Completed.";
