error running makescript

[coolghoul]

Hello,

When I issue the command:
./makesite ../communitypartner root:mypassword@localhost/CommunityPartnerships /xataface-1.0-beta-3

I receive the error message:
-su: !@localhost/CommunityPartnerships: event not found

The CommunityPartnerships database has already been created in my local MySQL. But it seems to think that my database isn't there. I say this because when I use a fictional name for my database, I receive the same error message.

Any ideas?
TIA

I always seem to find a way to stumble upon the strangest problems...

At any rate, I figured it out. After I posted my question, I looked more closely at the "!" symbol in my error message.

Since my password contains the "!" symbol, I think the script was trying to interpret it.

I placed my password inside ' ' quotes and it worked fine.

Thanks
