Indeed, this works too! (big surprise!)

UPDATE: Sorry, responded to quickly. No, it doesn't work. The %% is a notion to escape the percent character, so instead of interpolating the 2nd argument, it just inserts a literal percent sign...

not really :) you're using cmd to call cmd and the escaping is botched -- double interpolation
