I have the following script to retreive data from a website according to 2 variables; "seachtype" and "queryvalue".

curl -s -d searchtype=@srctyp -d queryvalue=@srcno -d "action=Search" http://www.ato.gov.au/scripts/super//search.asp > atoresult

I have had the retreival work when the values are hard coded but I want to be able to pass these values as files "srctyp" and "srcno". I used the syntax as shown in an example for the -F option.

Is this syntax not available for -d ?
