The "--data" part I would format this way: (let ((data (use function to format data here))) (call-process "curl" nil nil nil ................. "--data" data)) that way I would not fiddle with the data part in `call-process' rather pass it to `call-process' and this may be what you anyway do. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
