Problem runnig command with some characters. HELP!!!

[garap88]

Hi, I am working with a network simulator. An I am building a simple User interface with Tcl/Tk.
I need to execute the following command in the console when a push a button:

exactly like this:

./waf --run "scratch/third --runnum=$cli1 --cl=$cli2"

and $cli1 , $cli2 with their values obviously.
So... I use the following command:

exec xterm -e "./waf --run "scratch/third --runnum=$cli1 --cl=$cli2 ""

I would like that in the console the command executed where like the following:
./waf --run "scratch/third --runnum=2 --cl=4"

What should I use to make the interpreter ignore the pair of quotes inside in order to put them in the console??

Its the only thing missing in my entire proyect please!!!

It's probably simplest to see what's going on if you build your arguments as a string:
set s "scratch/third --runnum=$cli1 --cl=$cli2 "
then just use that in your OS call:
exec xterm -e "./waf --run $s"
